I have never heard the subscriber theory before.  Mills Atlas dates from
1825 (reprinted in 1937 and - I believe - once again since then).
However,
one hundred years later, this subscriber approach was not an unusual
practice:  the Yates Snowden multi-volume history of South Carolina
contains
several volumes of biographies of prominent South Carolinians of the era.

Steve, thank you for the information regarding the Mills Atlas. I've been
wondering about the surnames shown on the maps.  Surely they weren't the
only landholders.  Someone told me that "subscribers" (whose payments
financed the project) got their names listed.  Is that true?
Thanks...Jo H.
