The following is a transcription of Hugh Campbell's family bible which, in 2012, is in possession of Barry Campbell, a descendant of Hugh's son, Gustin Turner Campbell.

Main title page
The Holy Bible
Containing the Old and New Testaments
Translated out of the original tongues
And with the former translations diligently compared and revised
By His Majesty's special command
Appointed to be read in churches
Edinburgh
Printed by Mark and Charles Kerr: His Majesty's Printers
MDCCXCI
(My note: 1791)
--------------------------------------------
Inside cover
Gustin T. Campbell's book

(My note: This is prior to Hugh Campbell's death.)
--------------------------------------------
2nd page:
the firs (?)
John Achi(son?) his book
Hugh Campbell wrote this
Mr. Hugh Campbell his hand and pen wrote this (Ap?) 4 1796
--------------------------------------------
Psalms Title page
The Psalms of David in metre

with the original text and former translations.
More plain, smooth, and agreeable to the text
than any heretofore
Allowed by the authority of the general assembly
or the Kirk of Scotland and appointed to be
sung in congregations and families
Edinburgh

On back of the Psalms title page:
Robert Campbell was born Jan:ry : 12 : 1809
James Campbell was born August : 24 : 1810
John Campbell was born Febr'y : 16 : 1813
Hugh Campbell was bornd March : 20 : 1815
Elizabeth Campbell died April : 7 : 1815
G.T. Campbell was
born March the 26 18
1819 died June the 7
1898
My note: This last entry for G.T. Campbell was written in pencil and was obviously added all at one time and so it had to be written after the death of GT (Gustin Turner Campbell) in 1898 when the bible was already over 100 years old.
Past researchers said Hugh had four sons by his first wife and those were assumed to be James, John, Hugh, and Gustin. However, this bible shows that the four sons were Robert, James, John, and Hugh.
Since Elizabeth died in 1815 and Gustin was born in 1819 and wasn't included in the oldest notations in the bible, Gustin couldn't have been the son of Hugh's first wife, Elizabeth Phillips. He must have been the son of Hugh's second wife, Mary Snipes.

LONIE CAMPBELL (all caps)
and another word that looks like SUIRE or SUIPE or SURE with an exclamation point after it
(My note: The Irish Volunteer sailed from Larne, Ireland arriving in Charleston, South Carolina Dec 24 or 25, 1792. Note that Hugh Campbell always said he was born in South Carolina in census records and his children, when asked, said their father was born in South Carolina. This record on board the ship Irish Volunteer coming from the port of Larne applies to John Atchison, not Hugh Campbell as far as I can tell. Probably John Atchison gave the bible to Hugh sometime between his arrival in Charleston in 1792 and the first time that Hugh wrote in it in 1796.)
(My note: Hugh Campbell's children by his second wife, Mary Snipes, were not in the bible except for the entry for Gustin Turner Campbell as described above. However, Mary Snipes's birthdate was in the bible.)
