CAPE VINCENT MARRIAGES
by LABAN H. AINSWORTH
Laban H. Ainsworth, Justice of the Peace in the Village of Cape Vincent kept a record of the marriages he performed from 1846 through 1858, with the exception of 1847-1849. The Vital Records of 1847-1849 were kept by the state, and are on this website under the various towns.
In 1858 Mr. Ainsworth evidently became Recorder for the city of Watertown, and he continued his register of marriages there until 1887. This register was found by the city historian, Donna Dutton, who graciously gave us permission to post them on this site.
Numbers after grooms and brides refer to their ages.
