Thomas is shown as nine years old in his parents’ household in the 1850 Wilkes County, North Carolina census.

A Thomas Trivitt or Isaac Trivitt were on the Fulton County, Arkansas tax rolls for the years 1852, 1853, 1856, 1858, 1859, 1861, and 1867. Those rolls do not distinguish between Thomas Jr. and Thomas Sr., but they do show the Trivitt’s had moved there by 1852.

He enlisted in the 14th Arkansas Confederate Infantry on July 16, 1861 at Yellville, Arkansas. His unit surrendered at Port Hudson, Louisiana after it became known General Grant had taken Vicksburg. He and many of his fellow soldiers were released four days later (1).

In the 1910 census, his widow, Nancy, is living in the household of her son-in-law and daughter, William C. and Christina Glower.
