I (Marty Grant) am a 4th Great Grand nephew of Elizabeth Campbell.
Elizabeth Campbell was born 27 Feb 1794 in the Maiden Down Bay area of Marion County, SC. At that time this was part of Georgetown District, until 1798 when Marion District was created. Elizabeth Campbell is a daughter of John Campbell and Nancy Ann Cribb, who are also my ancestors. Elizabeth's birth date was recorded in the Diary of Simeon Campbell (her son). Simeon Campbell also included Elizabeth in the list of children of John Campbell and Ann Cribb.
Here is an abstract of what Simeon Campbell listed for this family:
pg 25 "The Births of our ancestors. The Campbell Family. John Campbell was born Jan 6th 1752. He was an emigrant from Scotland. Ann, his wife, who was a Cribb was born Dec the 1st 1757. To them were born: Ann was born March the 14th 1775, Mary was born March the 15, 1777, John was born June the 9th 1779, James was born Nov the 7th 1780, Gadi was born May the 25th 1784, Jeremiah was born Nov the 28, 1791, Elizabeth was born Feb the 27 1794, Theophilus was born Oct the 20th 1796"
W.W. Sellers also mentioned her in his book A History of Marion County, South Carolina by W.W. Sellers, Esq. 1902, though he mistakenly listed the father as "James" instead of "John".
Pg 486 - 488 "The projenitor of this family was named James. He came from Virginia in the eighteenth century, married and had five sons, John, James, Jr, Jerre, Gadi and Theophilus; and one daughter, Nancy Ann, who became the wife of old John Huggins, of Huggins Bridge on Little Pee Dee, and who has already been noticed herein among the Huggins family; and Mary, who married Willis Huggins, cousin of old John, and Elizabeth, who never married."
As if the above weren't enough, some primary evidence exists that also proves Elizabeth was a child of John Campbell. This is in the form of a deed dated 7 Mar 1845 between the "Heirs of John Campbell Sr, deceased" where they jointly sold part of their inheritance to their brother Gadi Campbell. The deed was signed by Willis Huggins, John (x) Huggins, Jeremiah Campbell, Theophilus Campbell, and Elizabeth Campbell. (Marion County, SC Deed Book T page 152)
Elizabeth Campbell was apparently home with her father John Campbell on the 1800 census. John died between 1808 and 1810, and his widow Nancy (listed alternately as "Ann" on some records) was listed as head of household in 1810. Elizabeth was apparently with her for that census.
Nancy Ann Cribb Campbell died sometime after 1814, but before 1820 (apparently).
Jeremiah Campbell was listed as a head of household on the 1820 census, though he wasn't yet married. He apparently had some of his siblings with him at that time. Apparently Elizabeth and younger brother Theophilus were with him, they fit quite well into this household. This census was alphabetized, so we can't be sure who his neighbors were, but he was most likely in the Maiden Down Swamp area (Reaves and Moody Township).

Elizabeth Campbell had a child out of wedlock on 21 Sep 1829. The child was Simeon Campbell who wrote the oft-quoted diary. I don't have any idea who his father was, nor does he list him in his diary. Perhaps he didn't know himself (or care).
I don't know where Elizabeth was living for the 1830 census. I've checked the households of her siblings, and none of them have an "extra" female her age, nor an "extra" boy Simeon's age. She may have been living with another family at that time.
Elizabeth Campbell was listed on the 1840 census in Marion Dist, SC. This census was not alphabetized, so we can determine where she was, and who her neighbors were. She was clearly in the Maiden Down Swamp area probably in Reaves Township. She was listed between her brother Gadi Campbell and her brother-in-law Willis Huggins.

On 7 Mar 1845, the Heirs of John Campbell Sr, (including Willis Huggins, John Huggins, Jeremiah Campbell, Theophilus Campbell and Elizabeth Campbell) sold 50 acres of land to Gadi Campbell. This was land they had inherited from John Campbell Sr. It was described as being on the North East side of the Little Pee Dee River in Horry Dist, SC known as "Land Bluff Ferry". (Marion Co, SC Deed Book T page 152).
Elizabeth Campbell and family were listed on the 1850 census in Marion Dist, SC. This seems to be in Reaves Township, based on the neighbors.

Elizabeth and Simeon were listed on the 1860 census in Marion Dist, SC probably within what became Reaves Township. Her brother Gadi Campbell was two houses away, and her cousin Anthony Cribb (Jr) was next door.

Simeon Campbell and his mother Elizabeth were listed in Reaves Township for the 1870 census. He had married by this time, and also had Charity Huggins, a possible sister-in-law, residing with them.

Simeon Campbell reported in his diary that Elizabeth Campbell died on 30 Jul 1878. He also reported she was buried on 31 Jul 1878 at the Campbell Cemetery.
As far as we know, Elizabeth Campbell only had one child: Simeon Campbell. We don't know who his father was.
Simeon Campbell was born 21 Sep 1829 in Marion Dist, SC, presumably in the area that became Reaves Township. Simeon Campbell was a Methodist preacher, and left us a wonderful treasure, namely his diary. In it he recorded the births, baptisms, marriages, deaths, and burials of nearly everyone in Reaves and neighboring townships, (though he failed to record his own marriage!).
He was home with his mother for the 1850 census. He was head of household in 1860:

For the Civil War, Simeon Campbell enlisted in Gregg's Battery, Co. D, Manigault's Battalion Artillery, as a Private. He was listed as "discharged", probably for being "over age" though it doesn't say that. (per Sellers page 616).
For some reason, he didn't record his own marriage date (or the maiden name of his wife) in his diary. He married Elizabeth Maranda Huggins ca 1865/66. She was a daughter of William D. Huggins and his wife Elizabeth ---.
Simeon and family (including his mother Elizabeth, and Charity Huggins, possibly his wife's sister) were listed on the 1870 census in Reaves Township.
