He changed his name when he was in his early 20's, once he found out that his great-great-grandfather was a judge who oversaw some of the Salem Witch Trials
Nathanial Hawthorne (author of "The Scarlet Letter")
The author Nathaniel Hawthorne was related to Judge Hathorne, the W was added to the surname so as to avoid association with Judge Hathorne but I can't remember if this was done by Nathanial Hawthorne himself or if it was done earlier in his ancestory. Nathanial Hawthorne wrote The Scarlett Letter about an adultrous living in a puritan town who had to wear a red letter 'A' on her arm after her release from prison where she had served time for adultery.
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.Nathanial Hawthorne's great-great-grandfather was John Hathorne one of the three judges in the Salem Witch Trials.
