Peter Hayes matriculated at Queens College, Cambridge, England. He then entered Law School and was under the protection of his cousin Thomas Hayes, Lord Mayor of London (1614-1615).
Afterwards he became employed by James Hay, Lord Doncaster, who was a Scottish Noble, and held the office of Master of the Wardrobe.
James Hay was also a councilor and diplomat. In 1622 James Hay became Earl of Carlisle.
In 1628, a dispute arose in the West Indies as to who was the Governor. King James had granted these islands to the Earl of Carlisle, but Phillip Herbert, Lord Montgomery claimed them and had placed an illegal Governor in Barbadoes. King Charles sent a Royal Commission to arrest the illegal Governor, and Peter Hayes was appointed envoy with the Royal Comission to the West Indies.
The work of the Commission ended in 1640 and Peter Hayes continued on to Virginia where his father was already established on Pagan Creek,
