Peter Hayes ca 1600 - 1668 |  his parents 
& ? |  her parents
of Cheshire, England & Isle of Wight Co, Virginia

          This is my working hypothesis - the way I see it as of this moment!! 

     Peter Hayes the envoy, son of Captain Peter Hayes was born in Cheshire about 1600. His mother was probably Margaret (Howse) Hayes, the captain's first wife.
It is known that Peter received a good education; his father sent him to college and he was matriculated as sizar in Queen's College, Cambridge. (Venn, Alumni Cantabrigenese, p 339, Sept 1615.)
Following the practice of many young men, Peter did not stand for graduation, but moved on to London and entered one of the law schools, the "Inns of Court." Here he could prepare himself for a legal or secretarial profession.
  In London he came under the protection of his cousin, Sir Thomas Hayes, Lord Mayor of London 1614-1615.
Peter came to the notice of another relative, James Hay, Lord Doncaster and in due time  was employed by him. 
  This James Hay was a young Scottish noble, brought to London in the entourage of King James I. He held the high office of Master of the Wardrobe, and was an active councilor and diplomat. In 1622 he was created Earl of Carlisle Responsibility came with honors and Peter Hayes shared in the work of his patron. King James died in 1625 and his son Charles I ascended the throne. The Earl of Carlisle, a valued statesman,  was retained in the service of the new king.
 In 1628 a dispute arose over the governorship of the West Indies, or "Carribee Islands". Altho' King James had granted these islands to the Earl of Carlisle, Phillip Herbert, Lord Montgomery claimed them, and had placed an illicit governor in Barbados, pre-empting Carlisle's rights and income. After much wrangling, King Charles I finally decided to settle the matter. He named a Royal Commission to go to Barbados, arrest the illegal governor and bring him back to London for trial.  A new governor would be named by the rightful grantee, the Earl of Carlisle. 
  Peter Hayes was appointed envoy with the Royal Commission to the West Indies.
The dispute was settled in 1640 and the gentlemen returned to London. 
  However, Peter Hayes decided to go visit  his father who  was living on his plantation on Pagan Creek, Virginia  just across the river from Jamestown.  
    Since trouble was brewing in England, Peter Hayes,   secretary to the Earl of Carlisle and the king's envoy to the islands decided  to "stay put" on the plantaion  which he had just inherited from his father, Capt Peter Hayes.
  In his will 1668 he mentions his mother, his sister Ann Cornish and his nephew Thomas Bevan, son of Thos Bevan (D Bk 2 Isle of Wight Co Records Vol II p 175 1661-1719). (Hayes, A E: Hayes in Va & NC)
