John Dardis, Jr. was born in Ireland, probably in Columbkille, Swords, old County Dublin (now County Fingal), in 1814 the son of John Dardis, Sr. and Mary Wade Dardis and the brother of Andrew Dardis. John Dardis, Jr. and his wife Mary Winn Dardis came from Ireland to America, and for more than a decade they were farmers in the Spencer Township area of Jennings County, Indiana before returning to Madison County, New York to join other Dardis family members. Unable to have birth children, they adopted Thomas John Donnelly, the son of Irish immigrants Michael Donnelly and Norah Winn Donnelly (John's sister-in-law), after Michael's death. In the 1870s the Dardis family returned to Madison County, New York, and John became a tanner like his father and brother. John, Jr. died in 1887 in Madison County at age 73. He is buried in Saint James Catholic Cemetery in Cazenovia, Madison County, New York. I hope one of his relatives will add his photo to this site.
