The Descendants of William Washington Vivrett

The earliest recorded Vivrett(also spelled Viverett and Viverette) was Thomas. No one knows with any certainty where he came from. Family lore says he is a French Huguenot who came to America from Ireland. What we do know based on early American records is that Thomas Viverett married the widow, Elizabeth Hickman Dew around 1770. This union produced several sons and daughters. Only three sons lived long enough to carry on the Vivrett name: Lancelot, Micajah, and James. The first two migrated to Wilson County, Tennessee, following the death of their father. James remained in North Carolina. The descendants of James spell their name Viverette, while the offspring of the older brothers spell their names Vivrett and Vivrette.
