Phelps was a delegate from Mason County to the First Wheeling Convention held in Wheeling, West Virginia. The purpose was to separate themselves from the rest of Virginia who had voted to secede from the Union, an unpopular sentiment in western reaches of the state. They were particularly upset that many of their votes in the succession election had not been counted. John M. Phelps mustered in as Captain of Company "E" 9th West Virginia Infantry upon its organization on February 28, 1862. Three months later, on May 2, 1862, he became the chaplain. Less than a year later, he resigned on March 18, 1863 "on account of business and family affairs."〔 He was elected as the first President of the West Virginia State Senate which convened in Wheeling on June 20, 1863 and adjourned six months later on December 11. He served in the Senate from 1863 to 1865 and again from 1869 to 1870.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= John M. Phelps )〕〔 On February 4, 1865 he voted for the abolishment of slavery in West Virginia.
