The first confirmed record of him is in Montgomery,Alabama when he married Martha J.R. Goodson on April 15,1838. They lived in Montgomery Co. Al.(1840 census) until 1848 when they, along with his brothers-in-laws William W Colbert, George Boyd, and father-in-law John E Goodson moved to Bienville Parish,La. then he to Claiborne/Webster Parish, La. John F.,according to 1850-1880 census records, was born in Georgia in 1815,and the 1880 census states his parents both being born in South Carolina. A possible brother,Lewis J. Phillips lived near John F.'s son, William Burgess Phillips, in Mclennan Co. Tx in 1880. Lewis J. stated on that census that he was born in Georgia in 1816 and his parents were both born in South Carolina. John Floyd Phillips died in 1896 in Webster Parish, La. I would appreciate any help in determining which branch of the Phillips family from South Carolina/Georgia he came from.
