I don't have access to the paper itself, but it's cited in "Jacobsthal Representation Numbers" by A.F. Horadam in The Fibonacci Quarterly 34 (1996), 40-54, with the comment "The origins of Jacobsthal numbers... predate Jacobsthal's article." The Horadam paper is referenced in the article on Jacobsthal Number at Eric Weisstein's MathWorld website (http://mathworld.wolfram.com/JacobsthalNumber.html).
