Sorry....I have the book JOEL BAILY AND ANN SHORT 1683+ ENGLAND AND PA, by Donna Beers. This family is the origin of most of our Baily folks in Chester, and there are many James, and Isaacs - but no Isaac married to a Susannah Kirk , and no Isaac at all with a son James. I had hopes for this book, but no such luck. Kirk is also a familiar name in Chester, many of the family descending through Alphonsus, who emigrated to Pa in the 1680s, via Virginia...but no mention of a Susannah.....nor does the History of Chester County contain these folks. I would suggest you visit the Chester Co. site and request some specific lookups.....maybe you'll have better luck. It may say that I'm unavailable, but disregard....I am. I looked for wills that mention the name Isaac BAily/Bailey, with little luck....here is one, but a bit early to be the father of someone born in 1802..however, as an Isaac Baily was also the adm, perhaps it was Isaac, father of Isaac, father of James. BAILY, ISAAC. East Marlborough.December 25, 1806.Isaac Baily, Administrator, pendente lite. Here's another will for another Isaac, with a couple other Isaacs mentioned, too...just to give you an indication of how common the name was; BAILY, ISAAC.
