James Wesley [Wes] Phillips was born 21 February 1882 in Booneville, Logan, Arkansas, USA. He was the oldest of the ten children born to William [Bill] Thomas Phillips and Sarah Cora Holland.

Phillips (1891-1936), Odis Phillips (1894-1894), Ola Mae [Phillips] King (1894-1960), Zula Jane [Phillips] Robinson (1895-1940), Ruby Marie Phillips (1899-1903) and William Thomas Phillips (1900-1972). Wesley married Lydia Louisa Lowe on 4 June 1903 in Arkansas.

Wesley and Lydia lived in Arkansas for a time after their marriage. In 1920 they were living in Logan County, Arkansas and at that time Wesley was working as a Laborer for the railroad.
