Anastasia Nikolopoulou (28 December 1760 – 1770) was a Greek member of the Nikolopoulos household, the family from which the Paap family later developed. She died at the age of nine after being swept away when the family's boat capsized during their escape from the Peloponnese in 1770.
Early life
[edit | edit source]Anastasia was born in the Ottoman-controlled Peloponnese to merchant Nikolaos Nikolopoulos and Despina Papadopoulou. She was raised in the family's Greek Orthodox household and was the youngest of their eight children.[1]
In 1770, the household fled the Peloponnese during the suppression of the Orlov Revolt. Anastasia travelled with her parents and siblings during the escape.[2]
Death
[edit | edit source]During the journey, the family's boat was caught in a strong current and capsized. The other members of the household managed to reach the riverbank, but Anastasia was swept away.
Nikolaos and Martinos searched for her for several hours while the others continued ahead. They found no trace of her and eventually rejoined the family. Anastasia was presumed dead at the age of nine, and her body was never recovered.[1]
The surviving members of the household continued their escape and eventually reached the Dutch Republic.[2]
