 William Adam Stodart was the son (or possibly nephew) of English piano maker Robert Stodart. 

William Stodart is first listed as a music store owner in Richmond, Virginia in 1818 where he sold music publications of New York’s William Dubois.  In 1819, he moved to New York City as Adam Stodart and began importing and selling instruments built by his relatives in London.

 In 1822, Stodart entered partnership with William Dubois, establishing the firm of “Dubois & Stodart”.  Dubois & Stodart operated a successful music store and small piano manufactory until the partnership was dissolved in 1834.

In 1834, Stodart joined Nathaniel Currier in the lithography business, producing sheet music under the firm of “Stodart & Currier”.  This partnership was short-lived and was dissolved in 1836.  Only small number of prints bear the name Stodard & Currier.
