Who was the most famous descendent of Magistrate John Hathorne?

The most famous descendant of Magistrate John Hathorne is Nathaniel Hawthorne, the renowned American author. Hawthorne, who is best known for his works such as "The Scarlet Letter" and "The House of the Seven Gables," grappled with his ancestor's role in the Salem witch trials, which influenced his writing. He chose to drop the "w" from his surname as a way to distance himself from Hathorne's legacy.

What happened to judge hathorne after the trial in Salem?

Having portrayed the role of Judge Hathorne at the Rochester Opera House, I did some research on the real-life character. Judge John Hathorne was not what we'd call "Mr. Nice Guy"! While he was clearly clever and educated, he was also not a very happy man at the time of the Salem witch trials. Consider that he was the sitting judge in the village of Salem. Once word reached Boston of the hysteria that was taking place in Salem, Judge Danforth (who was also the Deputy Governor) was sent up to Salem in order to take charge of the proceedings. This relegated Hathorne to "second fiddle", so to speak, as witnessed by the fact he had to ask Danforth for permission to question Mary Warren. After the trials, most of the judges (including Danforth) recanted for their actions. Hathorne...alone... went to the grave (in 1717) without ever recanting for his actions. He truly believed that he had done the work of God. EDIT: Clearly, his great-grandson disagreed about what "god" wanted. The famous Nathaniel Hawthorne was born Hathorne. He added the "W" to distance himself from his infamous ancestor.
