According to the directions in his mother's 1584 will, Peter was to be sent to France for at least a year to learn French.
"Peter Eaton is stated to have been a deputy for Dover to represent the port at the meeting of the brotherhood of the Cinque Ports ca. 1615. Peter Eaton was chosen to be a churchwarden for Dover in 1619, but appealed to Capt. James Barker(38) on 5 April 1619. He stated that "his place [position] exempts him now from serving, as it did on a former occasion" and asked direction from Lord Zouche, in a letter dated 5 April 1619 at Dover. Lord Zouch sent a warrant from London on 8 April 1619 to the mayor and council of Dover to discharge "Peter Eaton, a soldier of Arch-cliff Bulwark, Dover, from serving the office of churchwarden."(Reed)
