J.L. Phillips was born in Shoal Creek, Alabama on October 10, 1922. J.L. was the fourth of nine children of Earnest Eugene and Bertha Vera Jackson Phillips (1895-1969).He married Freddie Mae Goodwin. The above information is from the book, "The Heritage of St. Clair County, Alabama." There is a lot more information on the Phillips family. I can have copies made of the pages and mail it to you or you might check your library to see if if they have the book. Martha [email protected]_ (mailto:[email protected])
