I found this great website that can be helpful in getting a rough idea of the distance between two towns within the US. Go to HomeTownLocator.com and enter one town you're looking for. Then look at the list of links at the bottom of your town page and click on "How far is it from (the town and state you chose) to...?" then fill in the town and state for the comparison. It will give you "as the crow flies' air miles, not driving miles" distances between the two. I had ancestors that lived in two different counties in upstate New York and I was curious how close the two towns were. They turned out to be very close and it helped me to answer some questions about opposing information that I had. I thought this might be helpful and interesting to some of you. ~Patsy~
