Was Hawthorne a 'Hawthorne'?

I read something the other day about Nathaniel Hawthorne and happened to think: Was Henry Hawthorne related to him? (He liked to make up stories, too! )

What stories did Henry Hawthorne make up?
If you never read his "stories", how can you make such a biased statement?
So it seems like YOU are the ones 'making up stories'.
Has anyone ever contacted Lewis 'Pete' Peterson to try to get a copy of Henry Hawthorne's memoirs? I would welcome this by any honest person, even if they are not a member of this board.

I asked myself, 'Self, is this worth replying to?' And the answer was no.

Augusta, you hit another "homer!"
I just heard that Hawthorne's wife and daughter were exhumed in England and shipped to Massachusetts and buried next to him. It was in the NYTimes if you have access to that and The Boston Globe. It was a big deal.
So you are 2 for 2. You asked about the upper farm and now Hawthorne. I was asking those in Fall River the same thing!!
Amazing!

BTW: We have the Pete Peterson items - they were among Terence's collection which his widow Simone so graciously gave to Stefani. She and I and Harry have read all that.
