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.
