TRACKING EARLY AMERICAN GLASSWORKERS THAT WORKED IN NEW YORK STATE & BEYOND
2
The lists below are transcribed from census records using known glassworkers to infer where the glassworkers most likely lived.
3
Early American glass companies usually provided housing on the company grounds for the employees so glassworksers are usually clustered in early U.S. census records.
4
Known glassworkers are in bold and surnames that were typically associated with the glass industry are in blue bold type. The individual's role in the glass company is listed in parentheses when known.

Note: Some information is gleaned from other sources like historical records, publications, and genealogies.
