Message:

: I am a descendant of Lewis Phoebus of Somerset County, MD, father of Harrison Phoebus (b.1840-d.1886). Harrison Phoebus was a well-known hotelier at Old Point Comfort in what is now Hampton, VA. He was proprietor of the world-famous Hygeia Hotel. He married Annie J. Stevens of New York and fathered 8 childred, one of whom was Frank Phoebus, my great-grandfather. <<I would be very interested in corresponding with anyone else who is also a descendant of this line.>> By the way, if anyone is interested and happens to visit Hampton, there is a very nice Phoebus memorial located in the cemetary at St. John's Church on Queen Street. Has anyone visited the Phoebus burial grounds in the Jerusalem area of Somerset County, MD? Best of luck to all of you in your quest for family history! Sincerely, Sue
