Charlie Hewitt:

Charlie Hewitt was the head of the family. A stern and vulgar man, he cared deeply for his family. Charlie's experiences as a PO during the Korean War led him down the path of cannibalism, a practice he later indoctrinated his family to adopt. In 1969, Charlie Hewitt killed Sheriff Winston Hoyt, who was trying to arrest Tommy. He took his uniform and badge and even began using the man's name. Since Winston was the last remnants of law enforcement in this dying town, Charlie Hewitt became the soul sheriff of the entire county. From that point on, he referred only to himself as Sheriff Hoyt.

Luda May Hewitt

Luda May Hewitt was the only female member of the family proper. In 1939, as a young woman, she was scavenging for food in a dumpster outside the Lee Bros. Meat Processing Plant. She found a discarded baby in the dumpster with severe birth defects. Adopting it as her own, she brought him home and named Thomas. Luda May raised Thomas as her own child from that point forward.

Monty Hewitt:

Monty appeared to be the oldest member of the Hewitt clan. He may have been the uncle to Charlie Hewitt, though the two seemed to be fairly close in age for such a relation. Charlie referred to him as "Uncle Monty", but this may have just been an honorific. Monty may have been the legal homeowner of the Hewitt manor house, and once referred to it as "his house". In the 1960s, Monty drove a tow truck, and may have been responsible for many of the old broken cars that were found on the Hewitt estate. In 1969, Monty was attacked in his home by a biker named Holden, who shot him in the leg. Rather than use conventional medical procedures to help him, Charlie had Tommy cut off the injured limb. He then had him cut off the other leg to even him up; "For balance", Charlie noted. In 1973, Monty allowed a young woman named Erin entrance to his home so she could make a telephone call. He then asked her assistance in getting up off the bathroom floor and into his wheelchair after relieving himself.

Thomas Hewitt:

Thomas Hewitt was born in July, 1939 to a beef inspector named Sloane, who had died during childbirth on the floor of the Lee Bros. Meat Processing Plant. The supervisor of the plant, taking note of Thomas' hideous deformities threw him into a garbage dumpster, where he was then recovered by Luda May Hewitt. Luda May took him as her own son and brought him home where he was raised along with Charlie Hewitt. As he grew up, Tommy's mental development was abnormal and he took to wearing a leather mask to hide his facial deformities. As an adult, Charlie got Thomas a job as butcher. Ironically, he began working at the same slaughterhouse where he had been born. When the Lee Bros. facility was shut down in 1969, Thomas murdered the supervisor. It was soon after, that he began developing a penchant for wielding a chainsaw. He murdered a young man named Eric and skinned him alive. He took his face and made it into a mask. This practice became a trademark for Tommy Hewitt as his growth into a psychotic maniac continued to evolve, earning himself the nickname - Leatherface. In 1973, Thomas Hewitt slaughtered several more youths who had the misfortune of coming upon the family's territory. It was a young woman named Erin however, who got the better of him, hacking off his right arm with a meat cleaver.

Jedidiah Hewitt:

Jedidiah Hewitt was a young boy with abnormal facial features and the grandson of Luda May Hewitt. It is unclear if he lived at the family manor house or elsewhere, though he certainly seemed to know his way around the area. He was often seen playing near the Old Crawford Mill. He met a group of hippies who stopped at the mill looking for the sheriff. Later, Jedidiah was found nosing about the outside of the Hewitt family home. He helped a woman named Erin escape from Leatherface and led her down into the tunnels beneth the house.

Henrietta Hewitt:

Henrietta Hewitt was a woman who appeared to be in her late twenties or early thirties in the early 1970s. Her exact relationship to the Hewitt family is unclear. She did not live in the manor house, but rather in a trailer on the Hewitt estate. Henrietta often kept company with the tea lady, who would come to visit her. Henrietta was also responsible for abducting a small child and taking it as her own. When Erin came to her trailer pleading for help, Henrietta gave her a cup of poisoned tea.

Tea lady:

Almost nothing is known about this individual, even her name. What is known was that she was a dark-haired woman in her forties who was morbidly obese. She may have been a member of the family proper, or simply an associate. It appeared as if she was aware of the Hewitt family's more distasteful practices, but she never gave voice to any of it, neither condoning nor condemning their murderous ways. The tea lady was often seen in the company of Henrietta as well as Luda May. In 1969, the tea lady was visiting the manor house when one of their would-be victims, Dean, pushed her against the door to block Tommy Hewitt from pursuing him. A few years later, she was visiting Henrietta's trailer when a woman named Erin frantically began pounding on the door.
