from Futhey and Cope's History of Chester County (1881)

   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 
Philadelphia. By dint of business energy and correct habits 
he accumulated quite an estate. He died, unmarried, 1, 10, 
1871.
