E.E. Barnard probably discovered IC 4569 = J. 3-1378 visually, along with IC 4572, on 29 Jan 1889. See IC 4572.

Stephane Javelle rediscovered this galaxy on 25 Jul 1895 and his position matches CGCG 166-032. Barnard didn't publish his discovery or notify Dreyer so Javelle is credited with the discovery in the IC.
