I know both counties very well (I'm sitting in Jefferson county right now and have been to Wegatchie many times on my visits to St. Lawrence county), and all I can say is that NACO is incorrect. I'm also very familiar with the genealogy sites for both counties, and I've never seen anyone on the Jefferson County site putting Wegatchie on their side of the line. In fact, your email was the first time I've seen it placed in the wrong county....though back when it had a post office (many many years ago), some of the people served by it might have lived over the county line in Jefferson county. Here is a map that shows it (there are many, but this one shows the county line clearly): _http://www.mapquest.com/maps?city=Wegatchie&state=NY_ (http://www.mapquest.com/maps?city=Wegatchie&state=NY) My mother was born not too far north of Wegatchie and her family was from Rossie (the town where the hamlet of Wegatchie is located). The only area that shows up in both counties is Spragueville. That village is always a source of confusion as it is in both counties. The cemetery is in Jefferson County but much of the population is in St. Lawrence county. In a message dated 5/16/2010 5:36:13 P.M.

If you go to the website for the National Association of Counties (NACO), they say that Wegatchie is in Jefferson County. The site I was on was _http://www.naco.org_ (http://www.naco.org/) . Whether or not NACO made a mistake, I couldn't say. I guess it's possible. I don't live in NY, so I don't have any first-hand info. But it's possible that transcribers, librarians, and genealogists, etc. have stashed info about Wegatchie in with Jefferson County because they believed what NACO said...

Its close to the border with Jefferson county, but is on north side of the county line and is in St. Lawrence County. In a message dated 5/16/2010 3:41:52 P.M.

You might surf around & see if you can find any transcriptions from Jefferson County cemeteries, or see if there's a historical society for Jefferson County.
