The Vivrettes of Kentucky
The Robert Vivrette family of Hickman County, Kentucky
Overview
Sometime after 1860, the youngest son of Lancelot and Mary Hickman Vivrett left Tennessee with his family and moved to Saline County, Illinois. This we know from research conducted by Betty Hickman Minnick of California. Her interests in the Hickmans has shed light on the migrations of the Vivretts, who have several times married into the Hickman family. Lancelot "Alanson" Vivrett had been born in Tennessee in 1820. He married Mary Link, daughter of James and Catherine Newman Link, in Wilson County, Tennessee, on January 30, 1844. Below are their children with links to their family information at Rootsweb. This family eventually found its way into western Kentucky where they lived and died around Hickman and Graves Counties.
