Danny,
“Sindery,” or “Sindrey,” is a family name. Daniel Sindrey (d. 1704) was an early Charleston merchant and member of the colonial assembly. He built a row of tenements on East Bay Street that are discussed in Gene Waddell’s book “Charleston Architecture, 1679-1860.” The numbered items are on the map, but they are very, very small.

Best,
Nic
