Troy Kivett was the youngest of the children born to John A. and Mary Wellborn Kivett of Randolph County, North Carolina. On June 10, 1861, Troy enlisted in the Confederate Army as a Private. He mustered into Company M of the 22nd Infantry (North Carolina Troops). According to his compiled military record, Troy deserted on Aug. 5, 1862, after serving for almost fourteen months.
