Addison Hewlett, about whose native soil and people this history was written, was from a family that lived along Masonboro Sound for decades. The Hewletts and other clans who lived there in the 18th and 19th centuries were devoted to the coastal marshes and the distinct beauty that life by the water afforded. They lived in the midst of delicate grasses, crusty oaks, soaring terns — across the water from the untouched wilderness of Masonboro Island. These families have marked the Masonboro shores and the waters nearby as their homeland with gravestones, street signs and creek names. Hewletts Creek, which empties into Masonboro Sound, was named after Addison Hewlett's family. The Hewletts even owned part of Masonboro Island. Today, these families' legal ties to the island have been cut. The state owns almost all of Masonboro Island, which is now part of the National Estuarine Research Reserve. „ Continued Jndisturbed Legacy By Rachel Wharton Photos by Walker Golder. COASTWATCH 3.
