We use the VERITAS telescopes to perform follow-up observations of potential new sources of TeV γ-rays identified by the MILAGRO (MGRO) particle detector array. Three potential MGRO sources were observed by VERITAS during fall 2006 and early 2007. Initial analysis of these observations does not reveal the presence of any strong point source of VHE γ-rays associated with these observation regions. We discuss the extrapolation of the higher energy (Eγ >20 TeV), spatially extended (∅ ~ 1-3°) MGRO source fluxes to the 2-D VERITAS point source analysis.
