(b. 1846), John Thomas (1847-1893), Charles (b. 1851), and Samuel (1859-1933). Adkins was 17 years old at the time he enlisted in Co. K with his older brother James in the fall of 1861. His enlistment papers state he was 5'10" tall, had gray eyes, sandy hair, and a fair complexion. Amos was wounded at the Battle of Perryville, KY on Oct. 8, 1862. On Dec. 28, 1863 he became a "veteran volunteer" by reenlisting with 216 other 38TH IND INF original three-year soldiers who had enlisted back in 1861. Adkins mustered out July 15, 1865 - a survivor of all 33 skirmishes and major battles in which the Thirty-eighth Indiana regiment participated.
