He was born in Westmorland and educated in England. He immigrated to New Brunswick in 1831. The following year, he married Catherine McCarthy. He ran unsuccessfully for a seat in the provincial assembly in 1861 and again for the House of Commons in 1867. He was elected to the provincial assembly in an 1870 by-election held after Alexander C. DesBrisay resigned his seat. Phillips also served as deputy sheriff for Gloucester County. His daughter Elizabeth married Joseph Cunard Barberie.
