JACOB BAILY, eleventh child of Jacob and Elizabeth, was born 3, 12, 1819. In early life he was apprenticed to Isaac Morris, of Philadelphia, to learn the foundry and machine busines. He subsequently established for himself a large foundry near Broad and Callowhill Streets, in that city. He had extensive contracts for iron fronts, and at one time did much work for the Baldwin & Co., locomotive builders. The cast-iron fronts in the Everhart stores, borough of West Chester, were made at his foundry in Philsdelphia. By dint of business energy and correct habits he accumulated quite an estate. He died, unmarried, 1, 10, 1871.
