Samuel Livingston Breese, USN-- Part 1: War of 1812, Mexican War and Civil War

From Wikipedia.

I came across his name while researching another War of 1812 naval officer.  The last name struck a bell as there was a Union naval officer by the name of Kidder R. Breese who was at the Battle of Fort Fisher during the Civil War.  Might this Breese be his father or relative?

August 6, 1794 to December 17, 1870.  Rear Admiral, USN.  Saw active duty in the War of 1812, Mexican War and the Civil War.

Born Utica, New York, he was the brother of Illinois U.S. Senator Sidney Breese.

Appointed midshipman September 10, 1810.
