It could be Pierson or Pearson. It isn't real clear on the film. Also, census takers in those days aren't known for their great accuracy in spelling. It's interesting that your John is "maybe from Ohio". Andrew, the father of Daniel (your Andrew's "cousin" according to the census)was also down in 1870 as being born in Ohio. However, Daniel and young Andrew both have in 1880 that their fathers and mothers were born in Missouri. a I'm sure that this is the same family, now to gather a few more facts and put it all together. So far we've placed a lot of puzzle pieces on the table and have just begun to connect a couple of them.
