Ayres joined Captain Anderson's Company of the VA Light Artillery, the Richmond Howitzers, sometime prior to December 1863. He was transferred to the 14th VA Infantry in October 1864, but no further records for him have been found.
Ayres moved to California before 1871, when he appears on voter registration rolls, and was a stockbroker in Oakland, CA in the 1880 census. He is listed in San Francisco city directories through 1882. He is believed to have died about 1884 and to be buried in the San Francisco, CA area.
