Here in the Middle Atlantic, bread ovens were usually set in the
masonry walls of kitchens, either separate buildings or kitchens in
the house proper.

However, there are tantalizing early deed references to "ovens" as
property corners at shoreline sites. On more than one occasion, I
have encountered this situation. Of course, we don't know if the
"oven" was a bread oven or a colloquial term for a lime kiln or a
brick clamp.  A major industry in the Delaware valley was ship's
bread baking, so these could have been commercial bread ovens. Then,
too, there are place names like Bakeoven Point, that also could point
to shoreline bread ovens.

About 1607, residents of the
Atlantic seaboard discovered Europeans.
The Europeans behaved like savages,
and many of the local people moved away.
