Also, with Adams County, as was the case with many counties, there was a courthouse fire which complicates things. However, in Adams County, the genelogical society has done an EXCELLENT job of scavanging marriage records from every source imaginable - newspapers, church records, remains of the courthouse records, etc. That said, "Marriage Records of Adams County, Ohio 1797-1894 Vol. I" on page 53 shows John Campbell married Bitha Smith on 1 March 1825 - performed by William Baldridge. Source is cited as Marriage Book #3 from the Probate Office - which were apparently transcribed from earlier books sometime around 1894. I wouldn't worry to much about the spelling being slightly off here - given what the record would have gone through to reach this point the chance of some slight mispellings is pretty high.
