Daniel B. Wesson
Daniel Baird Wesson (May 18, 1825 – August 4, 1906) was a firearms designer from the United States. He was the co-founder of Smith & Wesson and responsible for helping develop several influential firearm designs over the course of his life.
==Early years==
Daniel Baird Wesson was the son of Rufus and Betsey (Baird) Wesson.〔(Obituary )''New York Times''〕 Daniel's father was a farmer and manufacturer of wooden plows and Daniel worked on his father's farm and attended public school until the age of eighteen, when he apprenticed himself to his brother Edwin Wesson (a leading manufacturer of target rifles and pistols in the 1840s) in Northborough, Massachusetts.〔(S&W History )〕〔(S&W Bio )〕
Wesson was married to Cynthia Maria Hawes, May 26, 1847 in Thompson, Connecticut. Hawes' father objected to the couple's engagement fearing that Wesson was a "mere gunsmith" with no future, forcing the couple to elope. Ironically, Wesson's salary at Smith & Wesson would amount to over $160,000 a year by 1865.
The couple had one daughter and three sons: Sarah Janette Wesson (b. 1848); Walter Wesson (Smith & Wesson executive, b.1850); Frank Wesson (b. 1853); and Joseph Wesson (Smith & Wesson executive, b. 1859).〔(NNDB )〕
