of December 12-13, 1830, he received thirty-two votes for the
position of alcalde of the municipality, but, probably to his de-
light, he failed of election.21 His last recorded public service was in
February, 1830, when he and two others were appointed super-
visors to lay out a road from Harrisburg to John Jones's house on
the San Jacinto, at the present crossing of United States Highway
90.22 Jackson, aged forty-eight, was killed at his home on January
18, 1833,28 by a falling limb or tree while he was engaged in
