Note: 1880 census lists him as Alexander Anton Philipps, as does both his marriage certificates; but his obituary in the Raleigh Times of 2 December 1907, records his name as Anton Alexander Phillips.

Son of Little Berry Phillips & Rosa Caroline Baker. Married 17 April 1901 to Maggie Fowler, daughter of Walter W. Fowler & Francis Virginia Flowers. Maggie died about 1903, presumably in childbirth with daughter Pauline Phillips (born ca. 1903), who was then raised by her maternal grandparents. Married 2nd, 20 February 1907 to Rena Belle "Bessie" Hayes, daughter of John W. Hayes & Emma Dement of Wake County. He died age 34 of Typhoid Fever at Rex Hospital. His 2nd wife gave birth to their son Anton A. Phillips, II on 30 Jan 1908. Following his death, Rena moved back with her parents but married again about 1911 to Turner Lee Smith, by whom she at least 3 more children.
