They did travel around a wee bit then - especially if they were tenant farmers/ag labourers but he seems to be certain that he was born Balmaghie and I'd be more inclined to think that his baptism wasn't entered in the registers for one reason or another.
The Kirk Sessions Records might be your best chance but I'm not sure if they're available outside of the major centres in Scotland.
It might be worth looking at all the Campbell births in Balmaghie around that time to see if you can identify a similar naming sequence.

There are a few interesting entries in Tongland, the parish south of Balmaghie:
11 July 1800 David Campbell. Father - Anthony Campbell
26 June 1802 William Campbell. Father - Anthony Campbell
This Anthony might well be the one who married Isobell Mcconnel in Twynholm (just to the west of Tongland) 5th Sept 1799.
Then we have your Robert born 5 June 1811 in Balmaghie to Antony Campbell and Mary Shaw and,previously, John in 1809, Balmaghie (see full list at the beginning of this thread)
Ant(h)ony wasn't a common Scottish first name, so this has set me wondering. A second, maybe older Anthony, could be checked for.
I've looked for earlier Campbell births in Tongland and have found an interesting family (all Cambpel) which is also mentioned in the Tongland MIs:
27 December 1771 (b. 26) Penelope - Father - William
16 May 1773 William - Father - William, Mother - Agnas Campbel
15 Feb 1776 Philadelphia (same parents as above)
26 June 1778 Agnas (same parents as above)
9 April 1781 (b. 6) William (same parents as above)
The Tongland MIs have an entry for:
Wm Campbell, esq of Queenshill. Died 27 April 1798 in his 71st year. Daughter Margaret died 12 Sept 1790 in her 27th year. Three infant children - David, William and Philadelphia.
Notes in the MI entry also refers to the Fasti Ecclesiae (a document/book containing information about Church of Scotland Ministers) - William Campbell was a Doctor of Medicine, at one time in Antigua and son of William, one time minister of Kirkinner and grandson of Robert, minister of Stoneykirk.
There is more. I'm not sure whether your Ant(h)ony is related or not but it is worth checking this family out.

Hi Tiana
I'm exhausting my records now. I think you might have to do some searches on SP or those Kirk Sessions Records.
What I have found is that the Anthony Campbell who married Isobell Mcconnel in Twynholm in 1799 was 'from Tongland parish'.
The MIs are my own personal collection and I don't have access to the Fasti, although I'm sure someone on here does.
What you need to check is for this Anthony and Isobell in more detail and then look at William Campbell (sometime in Antigua) d. 1798, aged 70-71. His father, William, a minister in Kirkinner and his father, Robert , a minister in Stoneykirk. Kirkinner and Stoneykirk are both Wigtownshire parishes and I don't have very many records for Wigtownshire, apart from the standard IGI SP ones.
The names are very similar to both Anthony's and Robert's sons.
In the MIs there is reference to a Patrick Campbell of Wigtown. I'll look out the MIs again later.

Penelope Campbell (b. 1771) married Campbell Adie who was a 'writer to the signet' ( special kind of lawyer - see, for example, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Writers_to_the_Signet ). She died in Kirkcudbright on 1st June 1842 in her 72nd year.
This looks like David Campbell, b. July 1800, son of Anthony and Isobell, in the 1841 census:
Main Street, Dalbeattie, Parish of Urr
David Campbell, 35-39, police officer
Hannah, 35-39
Isabella, 10
Marianne, 10
Robert, 7
John, 4
William, 4 months
All b. Kirkcudbrightshire
