Pamela,
The simple answer is...no...William emigated to this country at about age 10 according to family history and census records.I still have not found good references for his parents, but his father was likely Leonard William Opperman, who settled in Wood County Ohio about the right time-frame with a son named William, but the census shows him at least one year younger than my GGgrandfather claimed.
I have seen references to the Opperman children that were placed in the orphanage in Marietta.
Thus far, I have not been able to trace anything further back than what you have.
