Best Answer

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.
