Marriage Notes (Azubah W Rich)
married by Rev. Warren Emerson

1880 Wellfleet census:
John LACOUNT Self M Male W 67 MA Laborer MA MA
Azubah W. LACOUNT Wife M Female W 66 MA Keep House MA MA
Lilla LINCOLN Other S Female W 16 MA Srvnt. MA MA
Asa NEWCOMB Other S Male W 77 MA Laborer MA MA

There is apparently an error in the town records, with Alick's birth to Azubah on 9 Jan 1856 making the date of 21 Aug 1856 for Alexander C impossible. Perhaps the records are just confused, and Alexander C's record is a botch of Alick's.
