1737 Dutch oven cite

[Rudolph C Troike]

Thanks to Barry for turning up the earlier "Dutch oven" cite. I'm working
on an article (slowly) on the meanings of the term, and speakers'
interpretations of it. Any further grist to cook will be appreciated.

DUTCH OVEN

   Another item that I thought I'd covered, but maybe not.
   OED has 1769 for "Dutch oven."  It's not in DARE.
   I found many citations just now on the PENNSYLVANIA GAZETTE database.  The
        earliest is 5 May 1737, in this list:

...Sauce-pans, Dutch Ovens and Stew Pans...
