Peter Kivett was the husband of Anna Barbary Kivett, and the father of Jacob Kivett,John Matthew Kivett Sr.and Peter Kivett II∼Peter (Küwit) KIVETT I German Immigrant came to America arriving at the port of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1749. The following ships' lists of eighteenth century "Kivett" arrivals at the Port of Philadelphia, cited in Pennsylvania German Pioneers:
"On the 15th Sep 1749, in the Ship Edinburgh, from Rotterdam but last from Portsmouth in England...from the Palatinate: Peter Küwit."
There are many variations of this surname: Kivet, Kevet, Kevit, Kivette, Kevett, Kiviet, Civit, Cieviet, Ciewits, Cavat, Gevell, Gubrit, Küwit and Kibit.
Peter (Küwit) KIVETT I age twenty three married on 1749 Anna Barbary(Staehli)STALEY age twenty in Bern, Berks County, Pennsylvania. It is believed that they soon moved into the German community of Lancaster, Pennsylvania. By 1755 or perhaps as early as 1753 Peter (Küwit) KIVETT I and Anna Barbary(Staehli)STALEY with their first daughter migrated south to Colonial North Carolina with numerous other German families.
The tombstone (Photo at right)in the McMasters Cemetery near Liberty, North Carolina, states that Peter was born in July, 1726, and died September 28, 1794. It is positive he was an immigrant from Germany. The record of Peter's naturalization has been preserved in colonial Rowan County, North Carolina documents. On September 22, 1763, Peter, along with 33 others, appeared in Salisbury District Court of Colonial Rowan County, North Carolina to swear their allegiance to the British Crown:
"This day came into Open Court the following persons Natives of Germany and were Naturalized according to Law by the Oaths appointed for that purpose...to wit...Peter Kevett."
This evidence is extremely convincing that Peter was, in fact, a "native of Germany."
The earliest records place Peter Kivett in Colonial Rowan and Orange County (now Randolph County, North Carolina). The recorded history reveals that the central Piedmont area of North Carolina, which includes Randolph County, was largely settled by those whose first home had been Pennsylvania, where they disembarked from their sailing ships. They migrated south, using the Great Wagon Road established from old Indian trails from eastern Pennsylvania in Philadelphia through Lancaster, York and western Maryland to across the Potomac River at a ford leading into Old Colonial Fredrick County, Virginia. Then these migrants turned south down the Shenandoah Valley, across Natural Bridge, through the Appalachian Mountain range at Roanoke Virginia to take up new lands in central North Carolina. According to North Carolina land grants these migrations primarily began in the mid 1750's. The primary four groups were the Quakers, the Scots-Irish, English and the Germans.
