Kentucky: A History of the State, Battle, Perrin, & Kniffin, 6th ed., 1887,
Shelby Co.

ROBERT B. WINLOCK, M.D., deceased, was born in Shelby County, Ky., October
31, 1809, and was the eighth of the nine children born to Gen. Joseph and
Effie (Stephenson) Winlock, both natives of Virginia, who came to Kentucky
at an early date.  Gen. Joseph Winlock was a participant in the war of the
Revolution, and also in that of 1812, and died in Shelby County.  Our
subject was born and reared on the farm, and received a common-school
education.  He graduated in medicine when quite young, and very soon
afterward located at Shelbyville, and for many years stood at the head
of his profession in Shelby County.  He was regarded by all as one of the
most able physicians in Kentucky, and was a very popular man, both
professionally and socially, and much beloved by all who knew him.  He was
a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church South, and a very liberal
contributor to the church and all charitable organizations.  About 1835 he
married Louisa Adams, daughter of George (a native of Virginia) and Anna
(a native of Pennsylvania) Adams, but among the first families who
settled in Shelby County.  To this union were born four children--two
daughters and two sons--only two of whom are living: Georgiana and Eliza L.
Our subject in 1871 gave up his practice, and moved to his farm in the
western portion of Shelby County, where he died in 1887.  His wife died
in 1877, and now the only survivors of the family are his two children.
At his death he owned 560 acres of valuable land, all of which are well
improved, and the greater part of the same in a high state of cultivation.
Dr. Winlock was a Royal Arch Mason, and politically a Democrat.
