The McKearnins' American Glass has a page or two plus other info scattered
on the Ellenville Glass works.
McKearin, George J., and Helen McKearin. 1948. American Glass. Crown
Publishers, Inc.. New York, NY
Pages 182 and 183.
Boiled down for brevity:
It was established at Warwarising, later called Ellenville, in 1836 (not
1816) by a group of men associated with the Willington Glass Co., of West
Willington, CT. They made a great variety of bottles, window glass, and
they also made whimseys such as hats, rolling pins and canes. There are
lots more in the details of this work.
There is little info at all in the companion work:
McKearin, Helen, and Kenneth M. Wilson. 1978. American Bottles and Flasks
and Their Ancestry. Crown Publishers, Inc.. New York, NY
