The court house built between 1760 and 1762
By 1822 the seat was moved to Brentsville and the court house became a church
By 1857 the court house/church was abandoned
The previous facts can indicate that the glass bottle most likely would have been on site during the time the court house was a church. The glass bottle has Patina indicating a 100 year plus exposure to weather elements. The glass bottle also has an indented ring around the base most likely indicating it was made by Sabot (snap case) tool which was used starting around 1850 to mid 1860's.Created By
