Subject: Colonial glassworks
Can anyone provide information on Colonial era glasshouses (i.e. makers
of glass, especially bottles)? We are doing background research on the
Hilltown Glasshouse, which operated in Hilltown township, Montgomery Co.
PA in the mid-1700s. But it is very illusive in the documentary
records. the land owner seems to have been different from the glass
maker and the glass maker is only listed in a few tax records.
I would be interested in comarative material : Have there been
excavations of other glass works from the colonial time period? Or
detailed documentary stodies that don't just focus on some wealthy
merchant who owned the glass works, but on the folks who actually ran it
and made the glass?
Responses are welcome, either on or off the list. Thank you,
