Greetings, can anyone tell me the approximate distance and travel time between these two places listed in the 1860 Virginia Census? 1. Halifax Co, VA Southern District, Halifax Courthouse P.O. And 2. Halifax Co, VA Northern District, Scottsburg P.O. Thanks in advance, Larry

A straight line between them would be just a little shorter. These were the only two enumeration districts in the county for that year, so presumably people from the different districts could have lived next to each other or at opposite ends of the county.
