I'm not sure what your issue is.  Here (in Southwest Snohomish county, 
Washington  -  just North of Seattle) we have several specialty glass shops 
that can cut glass to special shapes, including oval.  They can cut regular 
glass and tempered glass.  On regular glass they can cut bevels.

We've had oval glass cut.  All we have to do is make a precise paper 
pattern, and they will match it in glass.

I would expect there must be places in Georgia which provide the same 
service.

By the way, if the window frame indicates the glass has a SLIGHT simple 
curvature, you don't need to find curved glass.  Thin tempered glass can be 
cut from flat stock then carefully bent and fitted to the frame.  In the 
late 1960s many Airstream trailers had slightly curved windows made from 
flat tempered glass stock.  A good glass shop should be able to help you 
with this.
