When did English-speakers stop calling Germans "Dutchmen"?

I know it was still common in the 1700s, hence the term Pennsylvania Dutch. When did it die out?

Soon after that when Anglos discovered the stingy bastards wouldn't go Dutch treat.

It's all a synonymous, that's why the confusion

Deutsch (German, in German language)
Duits (German, in Dutch language)

Perhaps the English speakers in origin named "Dutch" the people from Holland because they speak a German-related language (the name Dutchmen = Germans is technically correct)
