Nathanial Hawthorne's great-great-grandfather was John Hathorne one of the three judges in the Salem Witch Trials. One of his novels that connects to the trials is The House of Seven Gables. In The House of Seven Gables Nathaniel Hawthorne writes about a Pyncheon ancestor who "presides over execution of [Matthew] Maule for witchcraft" (Pennell, 1999, p.90) and then usurps Maule's land for his family. Shortly after finishing college Nathanial changed his last name from Hathorne to Hawthorne.
