From "Roberts-Deal Families And Allied Lines", by Choice M. Glover, page 49:
John M. Phillips was a man of many professions, lawyer and teacher, are some of them, and moved around alot. He was born in Morgan County, Georgia about 1818. I don't know who his father is, but have a feeling that James Phillips was. James died about 1832 in Newton County, Georgia, leaving a will naming his heirs, among them a John and Elijah Phillips. In Bobby Lindsey's book "Reason For The Tears", history of Chambers County, Alabama, Elijah says he is from Morgan County, Georgia.
On April 6, 1837, John M. Phillips married Sarah L. Taylor of Monroe County, Georgia, daughter of Eden Taylor. They moved to the area of Milltwon (Chambers County) and built an antebellum home for his family, sometime around 1843-44. John was also a stockholder of the Montgomery Railroad, buying five shares at $100 a share. In 1846 his wife Sarah died, leaving three young children.
On July 4, 1847, he married Ann Taylor, niece of his wife Sarah and the daughter of Simeon Taylor. She died in June, 1848, shortly after giving birth to a daughter Antoinette. After this he went to Union County, Arkansas in 1848, where his son-in-law, Simeon was living. There he signed a Guardian's Bond for $8,000, a penal sum, with his brother-in-law George F. Taylor.
In 1891, John applies for a pension for the Creek Indian War, Warrant #42468. He served for a period of three months with the Alabama Volunteers under Capt. William House, enlisting at Tuskeegee, Alabama on April 1, 1836, and was discharged at LaFayette on July 4, 1836. In the application he is described as being 6 ft. tall, brown eyes, black hair and light complexion. He collected $8.00 a month until his death about August, 1899. Also on his application he states that he lived 6 years in Georgia, 24 years in Alabama, 10 years in Arkansas, 2 years in Texas, and 3 years in Louisiana since he was discharged.
Also on his application he mentions his marriage to Sarah Taylor, and his last marriage to Judith C. Clark, who he divorced. She was the widow of Frederick S. Bolwing. John and Judith married January 4, 1865 in Chambers County, Alabama.
After the War Between the States, John's United States citizenship was restored October 19, 1868, with him sigingn the Oath of Allegiance. He later moved to Opelika, Lee County, Alabama, near his son Eden Phillips, sometime after 1880, and died there about August, 1899, as his pension check was returned for that month.
John's daughter by his second wife Ann, was born May 8, 1848. They named her Antoinette, sometimes called Nettie. She married Louis M. Roberts in 1868 and died 1915. She is buried at Macedonia Primitive Baptist Church Cemetery (Chambers County, Alabama) with her husband.

Information from F.A.G. Member #46804013:
John M. Phillips applied for a Civil war pension from the state of Alabama which was granted in 1899 shortly before his death. From it and other military sources he was in Co. "G" 14th Alabama Infantry. He enlisted at Auburn on August 24, 1861. He rose to the rank of lieutenant. Affidavits from other soldiers state he was wounded in the head and body by a shell blast on May 3, 1863 at the Battle of Salem Church (Bank's Ford), Virginia as part of the Chancellorsville Campaign. There were an estimated 5,000 casualties in two days. He resigned his commission on August 23, 1863. At the time of his application he gave his occupation as school teacher but said he had partial paralysis. He gave Pinckard, Alabama as his post office.
