Hi, Neil.  Why am I not in the least surprised that Ancestry.com now offers
that source, providing you pay them often and whatever they demand.

I don't recall seeing the above posting at VA-ROOTS so it may have been
cross-posted.  However, a good question to which Paul Drake addressed so
well.  The "Rate of Travel 1800" map at the following URL may also be of
some help:

http://books.google.com/books?id=hUkqx76sF6oC&pg=PA83&lpg=PA83&dq=map+%22rat
es+of+travel+1800%22&source=web&ots=CHzsHkpYhT&sig=q3cLd702UADWMBjjrn8CJfAcA
cg#PPA84,M1  (page 84)

This 'map' was freely offered at a web site or two several years ago for
ancestral research but I find from a Google search is now granted only with
membership fee at ancestry.com, with its source not noted.  However, the
source of this map is shown at bottom of the above-referenced web page, and
the publishing info says: "pages displayed by permission" so copyright laws
apparently still apply.  This seems to be typical of how ancestry.com 'picks
up' all kinds of data and documents, then sells them to others.
