Would anyone know where to start searching for information for a place called
Phebis which was close to Fortress Monroe? Phebis was incorporated into
something else and I need information from the 1880s.

Also, there was a post Civil War school called Hampton School. Does anyone
know where I could find information about the people that worked there in the
1880s?
