Following posted by Timothy E. Peterman

(a regular contributor to the genealogy of the Coffey family), 3/6/02

ÒI am a descendant of Peter Kivett and Anna Barbary through their son Henry, etc. Coincidentally, I am also a descendant of Peter "Barbary" of Tyrell Co., NC. His surname was actually Barbre. One of his sons was Jesse Barbre, from whom I descend. The Barbre family was French Huguenot. They were in the tidewater counties of eastern North Carolina in the early 1700s. Our Kivetts don't tie in with them.

By contrast, Peter Kivett was Pennsylvania German & migrated to Randolph Co., NC in the late 1700s with a group of Pennsylvania Germans. They either were or became Quakers & after settling in NC, began mixing with non-German Quaker families, like the Aldridges.

I suggest that Anna Barbary's roots will be found in Pennsylvania, amongst the Germans. By the way, has anyone ever seen proof that her maiden name was really Barbary? I have often times wondered if her given name was simply Anna Barbara...Ó

Misc. Notes

LFC NOTE: After the early death of her first husband, Jacob Kivett, Polly married Isaac Aldridge, who would have been a first cousin of her deceased husband.

 

It then appears that Polly herself died shortly thereafter (from the dates, I would speculate that she died in childbirth). At that time, Samuel Aldredge, an uncle of Jacob (his motherÕs brother) was appointed guardian of Jacob and PollyÕs minor children. See notes with Jacob Kivett for more.

 

FROM ANCESTRY.COM, WRIGHT & KIVETT CONNECTIONS:

Event: EstateRecd 13 AUG 1818 Posey Co., IN

* Note:

"Widow Polly Kivett who married an Aldredge, estate entered in several different books. Ruben Alldridge went back to Randolph Co, NC to settle property there. Heirs Sally, Hannah, Sue, Margaret, Mary Kivett. In 1831 Mary was 18 and two of the other heirs were dead."

 

LFC NOTES: 1820 CENSUS, INDIANA, POSEY COUNTY, BLACK TWP:

The widow ÒPolly KivetÓ is head of household. She has one male child under 10 (John), one female age 10-16 (Sarah), and four females under 10 (Hannah, Mary, Lucinda, and Margaret). She lives next door to Moses Roberson (Robinson), whose son Moody is 9 -- Moody will eventually marry PollyÕs daughter Mary. Also close by is Joseph Roberson, MosesÕ oldest son. Her uncle Samuel Aldridge and brother-in-law Peter Kivit are living next to each other in same township.
