Born: 1804 July 4 in Salem, Massachusetts, United States

Died: 1864 May 19 in Plymouth, New Hampshire, United States

Notes: One of Hawthorne's ancestors was John Hathorne, the only judge the Salem witch trials that didn't repent of his actions. Hawthorne probably added the "w" to his surname in his early twenties in an effort to dissociate himself from his notorious forebears.
