Peter Wallover in journal

This is a fascinating journal belonging to Elizabeth Sandwith Drinker that mentions Peter Wallover.

1784. "Decr. 7: Peter Wallover came to us--a dutch Boy about 12 years of Age, purchased from on board a Ship."
http://books.google.com/books?id=4z9v1ZhRnE0C&pg=PA99&dq=%22peter+wallover%22&hl=en&ei=y_JmTre5NoGIsgK7lPStDg&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=7&ved=0CEMQ6AEwBg#v=onepage&q=%22peter%20wallover%22&f=false

1785. "May 3. Parted with Peter Wallover to Frederick Shietas, who keeps a paper mill over Schuylkill." http://books.google.com/books?id=LyDu9fuH2JgC&pg=PA161&dq=%22peter+wallover%22&hl=en&ei=y_JmTre5NoGIsgK7lPStDg&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=4&ved=0CDcQ6AEwAw#v=onepage&q=%22peter%20wallover%22&f=false

The journal is part of what looks to be an interesting book here:
