Samuel Barron (1809–1888) was a United States, and later Confederate naval officer, acting as a representative in Europe for the Confederacy during the Civil War. The son and nephew of United States Navy captains, he was appointed a midshipman at two years old, reported for active duty at six, and sailed aboard the flagship of the Mediterranean fleet before he was eleven. He was the youngest person ever to receive a commission and go on active duty in the U.S. Navy. His extensive biography is easily found online.
