The following is an excerpt from "Prominent Families of New York" published in 1898 by the Historic Company of New York:

"Henry L. Pierson, son of the Honorable Jeremiah H. Pierson and the father of Mr. John F. Pierson, was born in Ramapo in 1807.
He assisted on the survey that led to the building of the Erie Railroad, and in 1828 entered the firm of J. G. Pierson Brothers, taking charge of its New York office.
In 1830, he suggested the Erie Railroad from Lake Erie to the Hudson, was director of the Erie Company, and for time its treasurer, carrying through many of the early financial plans of the road in conjunction with his brother-in-law, Eleazar Lord. Upon the death of his father, in 1869, he became the sole proprietor of the Ramapo Iron Works."
