| Biographical data |
| Name: von Oppen, Otto Heinrich Alexander |
| Born: 13 Apr. 1783 |
| Died: 13 Apr. 1860 |
| |
| Notes: |
| The Era of 27 May 1860 (p.5) gives his date of death as 13-04-1860, 'in the seventy-seventh year of his age.' Gaige gives date of birth as 13-04-1783, which is consistent, though the repetition of 13 April looks suspicious. |
