Early life
editDimitrios was born in the Peloponnese to merchant Nikolaos Nikolopoulos and Despina Papadopoulou. He was raised in the family's Greek Orthodox household and was one of their eight children.[2]
His siblings included Martinos Nikolopoulos, Aikaterini Nikolopoulou, Georgios Nikolopoulos and Eleni Nikolopoulou. Dimitrios died before the surviving members of the household left the Peloponnese in 1770.
Death
editIn 1768, Dimitrios became involved in an argument with Ottoman soldiers near the family's settlement. The confrontation escalated and one of the soldiers shot and killed him. He was 14 years old.
His death occurred two years before the Nikolopoulos household fled the Peloponnese during the suppression of the Orlov Revolt.[1]
