Author: Frederick Arnold Weyler
Israel Hayter was born 02Oct1754 in Frederick County Maryland. Abraham M. and Susannah Hayter and their family of seven children moved from Frederick County to the Holston in 1776. Israel Hayter was their oldest child, by that time age 21. They settled in Poor Valley on the south side of Clinch Mountain on both sides of Wolf Creek (another one, not the Wolf Creek of the muster ground). There are two Hayter’s Gaps, one across Clinch Mountain to Elk Garden in Russell County, the other where Wolf Creek flows through Little Mountain to the North Fork of the Holston.
Three Hayter sisters married John Jamison, Robert Allison, and William Allison who are in some lists as being soldiers in the Kings Mountain expedition.

Israel was wounded at Kings Mountain 07Oct1780. Colonel Campbell made arrangements for care and treatment of his wounded soldiers. Several remained in patriot homes in Rutherford and Burke County North Carolina. Hayter’s wound was sufficiently serious that John Scott seemed to think he could use a doctor’s care. Instead, Hayter insisted that he wanted to go home. John Scott and two others escorted Hayter to Dutch Gap “as a consequence of danger at all times.” The officers usually assigned two escorts for each wounded soldier.

Send a biographical sketch of your patriot!

Patriot biographies must be the original work of the author, and work submitted must not belong to another person or group, in observance with copyright law. Patriot biographies are to be written in complete sentences, follow the established rules of grammar, syntax and punctuation, be free of typographical errors, and follow a narrative format. The narrative should unfold in a logical manner (e.g. the narrative does not jump from time period to time period) or have repeated digressions, or tell the history of the patriot's line from the patriot ancestor to the author. The thinking here is that this is a patriot biography, not a lineage report or a kinship determination project or other report published in a genealogy journal. The biography should discuss the qualifying service (military, patriotic, civil) of the patriot ancestor, where the service was rendered, whether this was a specific state or Continental service, as well as significant events (as determined by the author) of the patriot's life. This is the entire purpose of a patriot's biography.
