[Andrew R. Barbee, M. D., a prominent physician of Pt. Pleasant, W. Va., was a son of a gentleman bearing the same name as himself of French and Welsh descent, and of Nancy (Brinton) Barbee, who was of Irish-German descent. Our subject was born in Rappahanock county, Va., December 9, 1827. He was educated at Petersburg, Va., studying medicine under Dr. J. J. Thompson, of Louray, in the same state. He attended lectures at the famous university of Pennsylvania in 1848-49, and at the Richmond Medical college in 1849-50, after which he returned to the first mentioned institution where he was graduated as an M. D. in April, 1851. He first located at Flint Hill, Va., afterward removed to Madison county, in the same state, and subsequently went to planting and farming at Poca Bottom, where he remained until the breaking out of the civil war. After that event, he went to Buffalo, in West Virginia, and in 1868 removed to Pt. Pleasant, where he has since continued. Though opposed to the doctrine of secession, when his state left the Union, he joined the army of the confederate states as captain of a company of riflemen, and took part in the fighting in the Kanawha valley. In 1862 he was promoted to a colonelcy, and in 1863 was so severely wounded in a fight with the command of Gen. Averill near White Sulphur Springs, that he retired from active service in January, 1864. He was afterward assigned to the medical department, with the rank of colonel on the staff of Gen. Breckinridge, his position being a mixture of the military and medical. He served with Breckinridge in the valley during 1864, and when the general was called to another department, our subject was left as colonel commanding and chief medical officer. At a later date, he was given medical charge of the reserve forces of south-western Virginia, and was in all the battles of that department. He retained this position until the time of Lee's surrender. He is the Capt. Barbee referred to in the sketch of the battle of Scary Creek, in another portion of this volume. Dr. Barbee is a member of the medical associations of Mason county, the state, the Ohio valley and of Gallia county, and has also been a member of the State Board of Health since its organization, he being the originator and introducer of the bill creating that board. In May, 1852, at Pt. Pleasant, he was married to Margaret A. G., daughter of Dr. J. J. Thompson, his early preceptor in medicine. Their children are: John R. (deceased), M. Blanche, Kate L., William (deceased), Ann R., and Hugh A. In 1881, our subject was elected to the West Virginia senate where he served one term of four years. He has served on the school board, and since 1885 has been president of the United States Board of Pension Examiners. In 1884 he made a creditable race as candidate for congress from the fourth district on the republican ticket, and it is generally conceded that he was entitled to the seat. The doctor is a member of Minturn lodge, No. 19, A. F. & A. M. In connection with the Hon, J. J. Woods, then the speaker of the West Virginia house of delegates in the session of 1881, he was instrumental in securing the passage of the law which regulates the practice of medicine and surgery in West Virginia.]

ALTHOUGH opposed to the principle or practice of secession, duty as a Virginian impelled Hr.
