| Notes |
- Captain Peter Hayes, ship captain was the third son of John Hayes and his wife Elizabeth Starkey, and was born in Great Budsworth Parish, Cheshire, England, about 1571.
(Will of John Hayes, Chester Consistory Court, England, 1597.)
He was apprenticed to his cousin Edward Hayes of Liverpool, England who owned a ship called the Golden Hind.
He married Margaret Howse, a widow living in Heston Parish, Middlesex (18 Sept. 1591).
In 1603 James I of Scotland became King of England. A severe depression followed.
Peter Hayes was hired by the Dutch to sail between the port on Texel Island and Greenland where the Dutch had a colony. He made his home in Edam not far from Amsterdam.
In 1630 Dutch West India Company ordered Hayes to sail to the Carribean Island of Tortugas. He sailed his merchant ship Walvis from Texel on 20 Dec 1630 to Tortugas and then on to Virginia. He ended up in the Delaware Bay where his party debarked to set up a whale fishing station. The Walvis returned home and Peter Hayes stopped working for the Dutch.
In 1636 he purchased 350 acres from George Hardy on Pagan Creek today known as Jones Creek near Jamestowne, Virginia.
He is mentioned in the Minutes of the Virginia Assembly in 1641-a petition presented requesting that poor men be relieved of taxes.
