George Dardis was born in Knoxville, TN in 1824. He moved to Winchester, Franklin Co., TN when young. He moved to Nashville, TN in 1850 and was chosen porter of the Tennessee House of Representatives in 1851. About this time he joined the Baptist Church and jointly directed Nashville's white First Baptist Church in establishing a Second Colored Baptist Mission (now First Baptist Church, Capitol Hill) in Edgefield on Fatherland Street. He was janitor of the state capitol in Nashville from 1853-1862. Then he was sent to Central America to assist in colonizing freedmen from the South. He returned to Tennessee and joined the African Methodist Episcopal Church in 1875. He joined the South Carolina Conference and served the Bethel AME Church in Columbia. Rev. Dardis transferred from the South Carolina Conference to Virginia where he served the Richmond Station. Rev. Dardis, his wife Margaret, and their two sons George, Jr. and Charles W. were enumerated in the 1880 Richmond, Henrico Co., VA census. Rev. Dardis was a member of the New Jersey Conference and was stationed at Salem, New Jersey in the 1880s.
What happened to this family after the 1880s? Would like to trace at least the two sons and would also like to learn the death date and place of burial of Rev. George Dardis.
