GLADNEY-=-ALSO GLEDNEY
Or* three eagles displayed*sable*. No Motto.
The original paternal grant of arms to the distinguished old family
of Gladney, prominent in history for many generations. The arms was granted and recorded in
the old College of Arms in London prior to the seventeenth century. It is simple in design because of its antiquity and
bears no motto as these had not come into use, and none was added
later, as some families did. The eagle was called the "king
of birds" and as such was a much-favored charge or blazon
on the arms, it was the symbol of great strength, watchfulness
and courage.
*Or-=-gold represented stainless honor and
elevation of mind.
*Displayed-=-pictured with wings wide spread
and facing the front.
*Sable-=-black denoted dignity and sobriety.
The leaves around the shield are used for decoration
only and had no special meaning.

Cemetery Index
THE GLADNEY CEMETERY is located 9 miles from
Winnsboro, S.C. at the intersection of 321 &34, which is the
321 bypass at Winnsboro, 34 West to the Lebanon Pesbyterian Church,
left on 54, Jackson Creek Road (small road south to Jackson creek).
The marker is on the right side of the road on a corner of a smaller
road. Intersection of 213 is past the road. Return on 54 about
3/4 mile, on the left a stone marker "GLADNEY CEMETERY"
by a small dirt road, left on this dirt road and up a small hill,
for 1 mile,through a gate and into a pasture. Although the cemetery itself has been deeded to the
Gladney Family Association, by Mr. Ed Stevenson the old Gladney
land surrounding it belongs to him, he has for years taken such
an interest in the cemetery. Not many families are so fortunate.
At the end of this small road, turn immediately
to the right and follow the fence line around the pasture, the
cemetery on the rise of the hill. The stone fence has been taken
down , only the stone posts remain and the wire fence is now around
the cemetery. The area, it is said, is on a part of Joseph Gladney's
land (he was the first Gladney to be sheltered by the land they
loved and worked so hard for.
Turning to the left (at the pasture) and following
the fence row and across some creeks back into the woods, is the
Widow Jane's property. There is a house in Winnsboro containing
the stair case that was in Jane's house, also many houses contain
some of the boards, Ed Stevenson took some of the boards and nails
to put on his barn, so as to preserve some of the original wood
from those who helped themselves to the property. Ed said,loggers
took the fence out, without permission--the granite slabs of the
fence are gone except for some of those on the right side of the
fence, laying on the ground.
President Bond received permission from the
Board and membership, to have all headstones straightened and
cleaned. They are wonderfully impressive so please visit and enjoy
our Beloved Ancestors resting place.

***The settlement
Act of 1761, passed, July 25, under consent
of His Majesty, George III , awarded prospective settlers land
for homesteading and for some, bounty (unkeep for a year). In
Ireland, political and religious persecutions plagued the people.
Several famines during the decade of 1760-1770,so depleted their
food supply that many were reduced to near starvation. It
was this settlement Act under which the first members of the Gladney
family entered the port of Charleston, South Carolina.
***When Richard II died in Ireland, his widow Jane Wilson Gladney
and her family emigrated to Fairfield Co SC, after 1761. Jane,
Patrick, Joseph and Thomas received a land grant from King George
III of 100 acres, the other son Samuel received a land grant of
150 acres. Jane Wilson Gladney was the only one who had "Bounty"
stamped on her land grant.
