"The first marriage in Hancock County was contracted September 2, 1824, Samuel Kepler and Rachel McKinnis being the happy couple."

to Rachel McKinnis, 2 Dec 1824, Wood County, by Wilson Vance, JP
This record wasn't filed until 20 Jun 1831, in Wood County, so the History book might be correct that they were married in September in Hancock County.
