Notes for Hannah Adams[5]:
Married, 04 May 1813 to Daniel Appleton, Jr., Esquire, of Haverhill and Boston. He was born in Haverhill, MA 10 December 1785.

Notes for Daniel Appleton, Jr.:
He was born in Haverhill, Massachusetts. After a few years of schooling, he started a general store in Haverhill. He moved to Boston in 1825 where he sold dry-goods imported from England[6] (business office at 21 Broad Street). He moved to New York where he gradually combined the importing of books with the dry-goods trade. The book department was placed in charge of William Henry Appleton, his eldest son. This was in Exchange Place.

Later, he moved to Clinton Hall, Beekman Street, and devoted himself to the importation and sales of books, abandoning his dry-goods business. He founded the famous Appleton Publishing House and published his first work in 1831. He gradually diversified. In 1841, he began offering children’s books. In 1845, he began sending books to Latin America which — despite his lack of contacts — turned out to be a good market for him due to its recent independence from Spain. His business in that region was enduring and profitable. In 1847, he started offering travel literature[7].

The firm he established in New York City became known as D. Appleton & Co. The publications of the house extend over the entire field of literature. Its American Cyclopaedia was for 50 years the largest and most widely circulated work of its kind ever produced in the United States. His company was continued by his descendants.

He retired in 1848 and died in New York City 27 May 1849.
