Wilson County, Tennessee, is the home of numerous Vivretts who descend from the original Vivrett in this state. Records show Micajah Vivrett was in Wilson County before 1805. He had left Nash County, North Carolina, following the death of his father, Thomas. He was later joined by his older brother Lancelot. Younger brother James remained in North Carolina. These three brothers are the patriarchs of the Viverette/Vivrett/Vivrette family in America. Micajah had eight children that we have on record, the youngest of whom was Larry, who married first to Harriet Cole and second to Emily Gregory. He had one child with Harriet and seven with Emily, the oldest of whom was James M. Vivrett.
