Notes for SARAH GLAZE: This story about Sarah GLAZE is from a family history called:

BURNS FAMILY, OLD 96 DISTRICT, SOUTH CAROLINA

Compiled in 1954 by James Calhoun Burns, Sr.

"Sarah was a very 'out-spoken' Whig, it seems, expecially after the death of her stepfather (Lt. Christopher Hardy). Her younger sister, Susan, was more timid, and always feared for Sarah's life when she talked with the Tories.

On one occasion, a crowd of children were playing near Milton Bridge (Laurens County) when they were approached by "Bloody Bill" Cunningham and his gang.The younger children hid under the bridge, but Sarah was defiant. One Tory was heard to say, as he hitched his horse to the bridge post, 'Let's give that girl a good scare.' His partner spoke up, 'Don't you know who that is? She's Sallie Glaze and the Devil himself couldn't scare her!'

Another time, on a cold winter night during the War, Jane Hardy and her little fatherless children were sitting by a glowing fire in the fireplace of their home waiting for the corn cakes on the Johnny Boards to reach their delicious 'brown-eating' stage. Sarah was standing by a window and noticed a band of Tories approaching. She quickly threw the bread into the fire.

When the soldiers came into the house to fill their haversacks with food, they saw the charred Johnny Cakes. One Tory, with up-raised sword, said to Sarah, 'I'll bet you burned up the Johnny Cakes.' She replied, 'I certainly did! We don't cook for Tories here!'​
