Pearson was made curator of the Asiatic Society in July 1833 and held the position until 1835 as a favour to James Prinsep. During this period he described the hispid hare and a new species of kingfisher, Pelargopsis amauroptera. This was a period of flux at the Asiatic Society of Bengal and there were complaints from a Dr William Jameson that Pearson had not maintained the museum in order. He married Frances Fitzpatrick in Calcutta on 7 March 1827. He died at Barrackpur. (en)
