  On 29 Jul 1828 he was Justice of the Peace in Fayette Co, Pennsylvania. He was appointed on this date, his commission coming from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania as recorded in Fayette Co. From 1829 to 1830 he was Co Auditor in Fayette Co, Pennsylvania. From 1834 to 1841 he was Co Commissioner in Fayette Co, Pennsylvania. He was Deacon on 24 Dec 1842 in Great Bethel Baptist Church, Uniontown, Fayette Co, Pennsylvania. Appointed a Deacon on this date, he had been active in the church for a great many years. On page 12 of the church's 125th anniversary pamphlet it states, "On Setember 10, 1831, Squire Ayers offered a resolution that all members abstain from intoxicating liquors, on all occasions." The resolution was tabled, but taken up later and passed. In 1857 he was a Representative in the Third Constitutional Convention in Henry Co, Iowa. In 1858 he was a Representative in the State Legislature in Iowa.
