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 business. 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 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.

*A foundry is a factory that produces metal casting. Metals are cast into shapes by melting them into a liquid, pouring the metal in a mold, and removing the mold material or casting after the metal has solidified as it cools. The most common metals processed are aluminum and cast iron. However, other metals are also used.610
