Pynchon/Pyncheon

[LARSSON at VAX1.Mankato.MSUS.EDU]

Marty Bickman sez:
"No connections to Hawthorne's Pyncheons, whose name, at least, is
fictional.  No roots in Salem for TRP as far as I can tell; more Boston
and western Mass."


Hawthorne himself has been quoted as being extremely annoyed by all the
Pynchons he found threatening litigation after publication of THOTSG.
