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.
