This is who I think Chloe Sindorf is--
I believe that Chloe Ann Everingham was born in Willoughby, Welland, Ontario on September 3, 1819; married Joseph Barnes in Stephenson County, Illinois ca. 1836-1838; Joseph died in 1845; the widow Chloe then moved to Iowa in about 1846, is enumerated as "Clara Ann Barns" in 1850, married Christian Sindorf in 1855; and then Chloe Ann Sindorf died on June 20, 1872, probably in Clayton County, Iowa.
Here is a synopsis:
Dubuque County, Iowa marriage records have a Chloe Ann Barnes marrying Christian Sindorf on July 14, 1855. With that name in mind, I located the following in Dubuque County in the 1850 census: Clara Ann Barns, 31, born in Canada; Maria Barns, age 12 and Jacob Barns, 11, born Illinois. Further tracing this Jacob Barns, I located him getting married on November 26, 1862 in Dubuque County to Margaret E. F. Callahan. Jacob moved to Peoria, Illinois. His parents were Joseph Barnes and Chloe (Everingham) Barnes. Further research on Chloe Everingham Barnes shows that she is the daughter of Jacob and Margaret (Dell) Everingham who came from Willoughby, Welland, Ontario via Illinois to Wagner, Clayton, Iowa. Their family information gives the following dates for Chloe Ann Everingham [September 3, 1819, Canada - June 20, 1872, Iowa]From the book, Portrait and Biographical Album of Peoria County (1890) --
JACOB B. BARNES, The profession of journalism is represented in Peoria by several gentlemen of acknowledged ability as business managers, ready writers and intelligent advocates of party doctrines and the public good. Among these Jacob B. Barnes has an excellent standing. He has had thorough schooling in the printer’s trade and in the various departments of newspaper work, has traveled considerably in the West and thus cultivated his powers of observation, added to his general intelligence and become capable of discriminating accurately regarding men and motives.
The natal day of Mr. Barnes was July 11, 1839, his birthplace, Stephenson County, Ill., and his parents, Joseph and Chloe (Everingham) Barnes. The progenitors of our subject were natives of the Empire State, whence they came to Illinois in 1834, the father dying in Stephenson County in 1845. The following year the widow removed with her family to Iowa, and in the office of the Dubuque Tribune, our subject, at the earnest solicitation of Charles Sumner, learned his trade. In 1856 the young man went to Minnesota, several years thereafter being spent by him in traveling throughout the West. He was one of the first white men to go into what is now Dakota. The party which he was attending settled at Sioux Falls, while he went on across the plains through Colorado and Utah.
Returning to Dubuque in 1865 Mr. Barnes remained there three years, then came to Peoria where for several years he was pressman in the Transcript Office. In 1876 he went into business with E. F. Baldwin, two years later establishing the Daily Journal. For a number of years prior to that time the sheet had been issued as a weekly. Mr. Barnes is a sturdy Republican, a protectionist of the most earnest kind and a bi-metallist. The Journal has frequently been quoted in Congress because of its advocacy of those doctrines and its stirring utterances regarding them. Mr. Barnes is a member of the Masonic fraternity, genial and courteous, thoroughly well informed and capable of advancing his opinions clearly, interestingly and forcibly.
*****************Mabel Sindorf, the daughter from the second marriage of Christian married Joseph Mettler on 26 March 1895 - St. Croix, Wisconsin; her parents were listed as "Christen Sindorf" and "Molton."
Hope this helps.
