From Wikipedia.
I was researching about William W. Corcoran for my Civil War blog and found out he eloped and married Louise Morris, the daughter of naval officer Charles Morris in 1835. Further research showed that Charles Morris fought during the War of 1812.
CHARLE MORRIS (1789-1856) was a U.S. naval officer and administrator. Born in Maine and appointed midshipman in 1799. Served in the Quasi War with France, both First and Second Barbary Wars and the War of 1812.
In 1812, he was the executive officer aboardthe USS Constitution under Isaac Hull in its famous fight with the HMS Guerriere where he was severely wounded..
