==Biography==
Corcoran was born on December 27, 1798 in Georgetown in the District of Columbia, the son of a well-to-do father whom the electors of Georgetown twice chose as mayor. His father, Thomas Corcoran, came to Georgetown in 1788 and established a leather business there. William Corcoran was raised in Georgetown. He studied classics and mathematics at local private schools run by Alexander Kirk and the Reverend Addison Belt, and also studied for some time at Georgetown College, the predecessor of Georgetown University. Corcoran was raised as a Master Mason on July 26, 1827 at Potomac Lodge in Georgetown.〔Potomac Lodge #5 "The Gavel Today" (Potomac5.org )〕〔District of Columbia list of historic sites (DC.gov )〕
In 1835, Corcoran eloped and married Louise Morris, who was the daughter of Commodore Charles Morris. His wife died in 1840, but not before they had three children (Harriet Louise, Louise Morris, and Charles Morris). The middle child, Louise Morris (1838–1867), was the only one to survive into adulthood.〔 She married George Eustis, Jr.
He died on February 24, 1888 in Washington, DC.
