Does anyone have any suggestions on where to look? It would appear that quite a few farmers relocated from Vermont to the St. Lawrence County area in the early 1850's?

Appearing in a lot next to the home, it said: "Paul B.G." meaning Paul Burying Ground. We then compared the old map, with a present day map, got the correct route number for today and found it! So perhaps they would be able to help you too, if you can give them a time frame to search in. They do not charge much for researching. Good luck.

You must be right, Anne. This is the first time I have known NACO to make a mistake like that. I have sent a question to NACO using the "contact us" button on their website & asked why they have Wegatchie pegged as being in Jefferson County. Perhaps that will spur them on to correct the error.
