How fortunate that I have been reading about the Blair family and their connections - this is Samuel Phillips Lee, United States Navy Rear Admiral, a distant cousin to Robert E. Lee.

US Rear Admiral Samuel Phillips Lee, cousin of Robert E Lee

 

[Mark F. Jenkins]

Acting Rear Admiral S. Phillips Lee, a (third, I think?) cousin of Robert E. Lee (this photo shows the resemblance, I think). Overshadowed, perhaps unfairly so, by more famous naval officers, Lee was extremely competent and one of the best organizers in the upper echelons of the Union Navy.

Press of Kansas, 1986. 187 pp.

Hey, tricky!!!

Google first named Franklin Buchanan and I was inclined to take it as a photo of a somewhat younger Buchanan, I only knew the one where he is sitting in a chair being in, let's say, his best years. But then ta daaa... I found the real guy!

It is Union Navy Rear Admiral Samuel Phillips Lee !

Third cousin of Robert E. Lee he is proof that the good looks of both men must have come from the Lee side of the family.
I can only imagine how many broken hearts that dashing young Captain must have left behind in the ports around the world when sailing away again ...
