When was the first glass window used in America?

Question

In homes and businesses

Answer 1

Right now, I'm going to say Jamestown.

btw...this is a great trivia question!

Glassmaking in America began at Jamestown, Virginia in 1608, where a glass factory was operating just a little more than a year after the first colonists arrived from England.

Archaeological excavations of Jamestown and experts who studied the fragments believe that they could have been pieces from window panes, small bottles and vials, and simple drinking glasses.

According to this source:

"It was in the early 1800s that the first inexpensive rolled window glass became available."

Answer 2

Henry William Stiegel an immigrant from Cologne, Germany founded the first Flint glass manufacture in Mannheim, Pa 1771. which was the first cut glass producer in America. Jamestown was the first glassing making industry in America, but never cut any glass. Until Stiegel done it, 163 years later. So in order to have windows the glass would of had to been cut. So I'm saying it was 1771 in and round about the time after Stiegel started the busniess.
