Hi,Tama. Just found your message have alot of info to share with you. I am a direct descendant of JOHN ARDIS. Do you know where he is buried? There is a JOHN ARDIS buried in Smith Co., Tx. but I think it is his son, John (b.1870-1900). What all can you tell me about JOHN ARDIS who was born c. 1836? I'm so glad I found you. I can introduce you to some cousins in Ala. and Texas now!! BG
