From notes of P. Cleveland Gardner written in the early 1930's:
According to reliable family tradition John L. Gladden was born in South Carolina, probably just across state line adjoining Cleveland County, North Carolina, and his mother died when he was ten (10) days old, leaving him with his father. And his father placed him with James Lucus and wife Rebecca Lucus. In the old family bible of John L. Gladden, now in the possession of his grandson, Ansil C. Gladden of Blacksburg, South Carolina, Route #1, we find the following record in the hand writing of John L. Gladden, to wit: "Rebecca Lucus died July 26, 1838, age 73 years"; "James Lucus died November 19, 1841, age 78 years, 7 months, and 14 days". It is not known at present time just where this Lucas family lived. However it is possible that the Lucas family lived at the old Botts homestead some three miles north of Shelby in Cleveland County, since there is an old grave yard on this place in which members of a Lucas family were buried, and in which John L. Gladden and his wife , Patience Hardin , werer buried. John L. Gladden was a man of unusual natural ability, with a mind trained and developed far superior to that of almost any man of his community during his time. Evidently the Lucus family which reared him were well educated, and hense provided an opportunity for schooling the infant child placed in their custody. John L. Gladden was the most prominent pubic school teacher, and singing school teacher, of his day. Also, he was for many years Justice of the Peace, and member of the court of "Pleas and Quarter Session", of Cleveland County. He was "attorney and counselor" for the people of his community. He probably drafted more wills, deeds, mortages and liens, and married more people, than any other one man of the community in which he lived. Following his first marriage it seems that he settled at what is now known as the old Botts homestead North of Shelby in No. Six Township. He later resided one mile west of Pleasant Grove Baptist Church on No. Nine Township, now known as the old homestead of the late A. Dillard Hamrick. Here he owned a farm and lived during the civil war, and kept post office, the office being kept in his home. I understand that the name of the Post Office was "Beams Mill". This post office when first established was kept at the home of Andy Beam on Buffalo Creek some two miles Northeast of Pleasant Grove Baptist Church, and took its name from the late Andy Beam who owned and operated a corn mill and other machinery on said creek. The post office kept by John L. Gladden in his home during the war was the only post office in the entire community for miles around. He was living here when his first wife died, and he carried her back to the old Lucas grave yard on the Botts farm and buried her there. He was buried by the side of his first wife.

John married Patience (Patsy) Hardin on 26 May 1819 in Rutherford County, North Carolina. Patience was born on 15 Aug 1802 in North Carolina; died on 6 Feb 1868 in Cleveland County, North Carolina. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
