Unfortunately, I could not find a marriage record for Joseph Barcomb Sr. on familysearch.org.

The record mentioned in the reply above actually refers to Joseph J. Barcomb Jr. and his marriage on June 22, 1926 to Maria Geroux, daughter of Fred Geroux.  The only reason that Joseph Barcomb Sr's name and Mederisa Gebo's name appears on the document is as the groom's parents.

There is a historian in Rouses Point, NY at phone number (518) 297-5502 whom you can contact for more information and you may also want to consider contacting The Town Clerk of Clinton in Churubusco, NY 12923 at (518) 497-6133 to see if someone there can advise you.

The fact that you have the marriage certificate number or license number is a very strong indication that this document will be available.  Where did you find that information?

After further research, I did find the same record that you found that the marriage occurred on Sept. 13, 1902.

The marriage certificate can be ordered for a $30.00 fee by mail from the State of New York Department of Health for Vital Records, whose link you were correctly referred to in the previous reply.  However, access is restricted and there is slow processing time.  You need to produce a court order that gives you permission to order it or explain the reason you want to order the document if there is a beneficial need, such as needing it to claim a benefit, inheritance, etc.  A family law attorney in Clinton County may be able to assist you in getting the court order if you want to get that.

Please mention the reason that you wanted the marriage certificate since there may be other ways or other sources that can be checked to get the information you may be looking for.
