Upon his return to Missouri, the 44-year-old Jackson's health began to fail.He spent his remaining years trying to put his financial affairs in order. He had never heard from Ewing Young after leaving him with the substantial amount of cash and property at the Colorado River, but was never healthy enough to travel back to California to try to collect payment.
He, finally, was able to travel to Paris, Tennessee, in January, 1837, to try to collect money on some investments he had made there. While there, David Jackson contracted typhoid fever and although, he lingered, for several months, his poor health prevented him from recovering and he died on December 24, 1837.
