James Solomon or "Sol" was the son of James Bennett Phillips and Catherine Hampton.
Sol, as he was known, was first married to Harriett Maranda McMahan, daughter of Thomas McMahan and Nancy Magdaline (nee Silver) McMahan, on 22 Dec 1892 in Yancey County. One child would be born to this union, Lydia Phillips. This marriage would not last.
He later married Rose Ellen "Rosa" Messer, daughter of Levi Solomon Messer and Margaret Cunningham, on 20 Nov 1898 in Swain County, NC. Performed by: H.A. Cunningham at the road fork near Thomas Joshua Calhoun's house in Nantahala. E. Phillips. K.A. Phillips, witnesses.
Immediately following his marriage, Solomon would enlist in the Spanish-American War while they were living in Almond.
