Execution of Daniel H. Pearson, Massachusetts, 07/20/1850
The Espy Files list him just as "Pierson" and cite an Atlanta Constitution article that misspelled his name. There is some early coverage of his case that calls him Daniel H. Pierson. However, everything else (including coverage that includes his signed confession) uses the "Pearson" spelling.
