In a book entitled Appayya Dikshithar by Swami Sivananda the author notes that he had two daughters - one was Mangalammal.
Also Neelakanta Dikshithar was the grandson of Appayya.
"Appayya had two daughters. Mangalamba, the younger daughter, was a great devotee of Lord Siva. Neelakanta was Appayya’s grandson."
