Andrew Russell Barbee Jr. (December 9, 1827 – August 5, 1903) was a surgeon in the Confederate service during the American Civil War.

[1] While a member of the West Virginia Senate, he was the author of the bill regulating the practice of medicine and surgery, and that creating the State Board of Health.

[4] Although opposed to the principle or practice of secession, duty as a Virginian impelled Barbee to enter the Confederate army, referring to himself as a "protectionist," and by no means a "civil service reformer.

On May 2, 1862, Barbee was promoted to lieutenant-colonel of the same regiment and served in that capacity until retired for disability, he having been wounded in the battle of Dry Creek, August 26, 1863.

[4] He was subsequently assigned to duty in the medical department of the Confederate army (with the rank of colonel), on the staff of Gen. John C. Breckinridge in a medico-military capacity, serving with him in the valley in 1864.

When Breckinridge was called to another department, Barbee was left colonel commanding, and chief medical officer.

[7] He was a member of the State Senate in 1880-1884, serving one term of four years, at the end of which he was a candidate for Congress on the Republican ticket.

[9] The Barbee's children included John, Mary Blanche, Kate Louise, William, Ann Rebecca, and Hugh Arthur.
