Lorentz and Sarah Kayser pioneered the large and prominent Kiser Family in Gaston County, North Carolina. They were of German origin and, like their Eaker neighbors, often had their names misspelled. Lorentz signed it Kayser, but other spellings found in official documents included Kaiser, Kiser, Kyser, Ciser, Keyser, Kieser, Kizer, and others. On September 26, 1737 Lorentz Kayser, probably accompanied by his young family, arrived in Pennsylvania on the ship St. Andrew Galley, John Stedman, Master, from Rotterdam, but last from Cowes. Sometime after this time the Kayser family made the long and tedious journey down the Great Wagon Road and settled in what is now northern Gaston County, North Carolina. While the exact date of their arrival is not known, (no Kisers were listed on the Capt. Corbins County. 1748) on May 15, 1759 Lorentz Kayser made application for a land grant. On April 10, 1761, the state granted him 300 acres on both sides of Beaverdam Creek very near the homes of Peter Ecker Sr., Peter Ecker Jr., Christian Ecker, Christian Zimmerman (Carpenter), Johannes (John) Zimmerman, Jacob Zimmerman, and Peter Zimmerman. There he lived and died. Very little else is known about the ancestors of the Kiser family.
The Kiser family multiplied dramatically from its early beginning. On January 5, 1786, Lorentz Kayser wrote his will which was probated at the time of his death in July 1786. He was buried on his home place on the north side of Beaverdam Creek with the inscription "L O K 1786" His widow survived him and was probably buried by his side. Lorentz Kayser listed his children in his will, and his family statistics appear thusly: Lorentz O. Kayser Sr., b. 1700- 1720; d. July 1786, married about 1730-1740 Sarah -?-, b. 1700-1720; died after July 1786.
