Adam APPELMAN was possibly born in Germany. He was buried 30 Jun 1803, St. Mary Marylebone (see will of Adam Appelman).

He married Charlotte GORDON 27 October 1793 at St. James' Piccadilly, Westminster London; both of the parish, by banns, witnessed by John Reid and J(ohn). Gordon.

Adam was a pianoforte maker, and may have worked for the Kirkman family.

IGI records the birth and baptism of a Frances APPELMAN in 1789, the daughter of Adam and Mary. This seems to suggest a previous marriage.

Charlotte was the daughter of William Gordon and Jean (née Jarvie), baptised 14 Oct 1762 Leith, Midlothian.

After Adam's death, Charlotte married George Merlens, 10 Sept 1810, at St. George's Bloomsbury, in the presence of R. Harrison and John Webb. Charlotte (still using the surname Appelman) was buried 15 May 1825, St. Mary Marylebone, aged 64.
