Previously I posted an antedating of "bakery" from George Washington in
1780.  Here's still earlier:

bakery (OED c1820)

1758 _New-Hampshire Gazette_ 3 Mar. 2 (Early American Newspapers)  The evening
before the action our troops seized upon a considerable magazine and bakery
belonging to the enemy.
