W. 1. 130. Captain Peter de Sallenova of Dorchester, England, where the records refer to him variously as captain, chirurgeon, and apothecary, was in the colony in 1635, at which time he was consulted by the General Court in connection with the proposed expedition against the French at Penobscot. Records of Massachusetts, I. 160. The following year he was reported to be in the West Indies (Winthrop Papers, III. 275), and he subsequently returned to England. Charles H. Mayo, Municipal Records of the Borough of Dorchester, Dorset (Exeter, 1908), 516–517, 544–545; Minute Books of the Dorset Standing Committee (Exeter, 1902), passim. There is a reference as late as 1642 to his owning land in Weymouth, Massachusetts, where he may earlier have been employed in building the mill or dam owned by Henry Waltham and Thomas Richards. Lechford's Notebook, 2, 2n.
Probably “cabaret,” in the obsolete sense of “a drinking house.” Cf. N.E.D.
