When the Civil War broke out, Winright and his brothers, Eli, Moses and John Henry all enlisted in the Confederate Army. Winright was the only one of the four to survive the war and return home.
We do not know what happened to his first wife, Nancy Phillips, but Winright m. Louisa Epling on 11-26-1868. Louisa was b. 10-1-1845 and d. 2-1-1927. Both Winright and Louisa are buried in the Winston Adkins Cemetery at Winright, KY.
Physically, Winright was of small or short stature, being only 5 feet and 4 inches tall. According to his Civil War records, he had grey eyes, black hair, tan complexion. He enlisted in Company "C" of the 5th Kentucky Mounted Calvary, in Letcher County, KY. on 12-20-1863 for three years. He had previously enlisted at Princeton, VA. (now WV.). Winright was promoted to Corporal and then to Sergeant. He saw service in and around Dalton, GA. and Chattanooga, TN.
Winright and his wife were deeded the Winston Adkins home place at Winright, KY., with the provision in the deed that he and his wife were to care for Winston and Hannah, as long as either of them lived. Winright and Louisa lived in this place until their deaths. Both are buried in the Winston Adkins Cemetery at Winright, KY.

Hi Berma Jo, my name is Linda Anders and Winright and Louisa were my great grandparents. There daughter Dulcie Jane Adkins was my mothers mother or my grandmother. Dulcie's daughter Ivery May Compton was my mother. I have just started studing this on my family and I am enjoying it so much.
Joseph Perry Adkins was my great grandfather and Maro Absheer was my great grandmother. Their daughter Verda Marie Adkins Painter was my dads mother. She had 8 children = 6 buys and 2 girls.
Winright is my Great-Grandfather. His daughter, Alcie (pronounced AL-see) was my mother's grandmother, and Alcie help raise my mother since she and her mother (my grandmother) lived with Alcie and her husband, David Cox. Mother is still living (she's 85 now) and still owns the house and farm where David and Alsie lived and were buried. I've done a lot of research on the Adkins line and would love to connect with all of you.

I guess Winwright would be my great great grandfather. My great grandfather was his son Joeseph Perry Adkins. Maro his wife was my great grandmother. Their daughter, Verda Marie Adkins was my grandmother. Marie married Sewell Miller Painter (joe). They have all passed. My dad John Painter passed a little over 2 years ago. We have a very large family.
My great grandfather was Winright Adkins, his daughter Dulcie Adkins was my grandmother. If anyone has any photo's of Winston Adkins or his wife's brother's or sisters or Winright Adkins or his wife's brother's or sisters I would appreciate a copy of it and any stories long forgotten. I have been working to find all the info. I can on them for my son and grandsons to preserve their heritage. Please email me at lindacanders@aol.com. I appreciate any help and will share any info I have with you.

This says that Winright married Nancy Phillips on 09/24/1860. I have since found a historical record indicating that Nancy Phillips married Winston Adkins on this date. Does anyone know about this record? I'm beginning to believe Winright never married Nancy after all.
Winston winright Adkins was his full name.
Where did you get that information about his name?
