BIOGRAPHY:
Patrick O'Quin was bom either January or June 5, 1750 in Ireland. Some records differ on his month of birth. He arrived in the colonies as an indentured servent. Patrick's last name was spelled "Quin" in the ships records. He was indentured to one Michael Simpson on April 22, 1772, in the Mayors court in Philadelphia Patrick served in the Revolutionary War in the Virginia First Artillary for the entire length of the war. It is believed that he served in the stead of his indenturer, Michael Simpson, which was a common practice at the time, and by doing so had his term of indenture terminated. His Army duty was listed as matross, A matross is a soldier who assists artillery gunners in loading, firing, sponging and moving the guns. He was awarded 200 acres of land after the war, on July 28,1783, and was listed in the 1790 Census of Sampson County, North Carolina as Patrick (VQuin.
Patricks wife's name was Elizabeth (Hurley?) Elizabeth was also an indentured servent who was indentured to Elizabeth Sawyer, also in the Mayors Court at Philadelphia, also on April 22, 1772. Records do not show if they were married before or after coming to America. However, as indentured servants were rarely allowed to marry, and given the exact same date of indenture, Patrick and Elizabeth were possibly married before leaving Ireland.
Patrick died in 1806. After Patrick's death, Elizabeth married Hardy Holmes on August 24,1808. Elizabeth died in Wayne County, North Carolina.
Patrick and Elizabeth probably had at least 9 daughters (names were not on 1790 Sampson Co. NC census), and 1 son - Wiley, who was bom either May or June 29, 1799 in Cumberland County, North Carolina.
*Wiley married Martha Elizabeth (Mattie) Dunford, daughter of John and Martha Dunford. Martha was bom on March 11,1809, in Wythe County, Virginia. Wiley moved to Wythe County sometime before 1830, and was listed in the 1830 Census of Wythe County as Wiley Gwinn (note -many older people in southwest Virginia still pronounce O'Quin as "Gwinn".) Wiley then moved to Russell County Virginia sometime between 1848 and 1849. At that time, the area that is now Buchanan County was a part of Russell County. When Buchanan County was formed (1858), Wiley lived in the area that became Buchanan Co. He was awarded 92 acres of land in Buchannan County, Russell's Prater Creek in 1861. Wiley died on February 8, 1881 - His grave is on the farm currently owned by Andy Deel
Wiley had 14 children, 12 with his first wife, Martha (Mattie) and 2 by his second wife, Abigail Coleman (a widow with 3 children when she married Wiley). They are listed in the attached sheet.
Wileys sons Andrew, John and Rice S.W. (Superior Whitfield) served in the civil war - Confederate Army, Company C, 14th Regiment, Calvary, Kentucky Volunteers. Andrew was a captain, but we do not know the rank of John and Rice S.W.
As you may notice (on the family tree and old records) many of the boys in the families had Jr. on their names, even though they were not named after their father. In those days Jr. only meant the younger of 2 people by the same name.
Above information gleaned from various sources, including the Ohio Historical Society, Ships Passenger Lists, American Genealogical Society, "Virginians in the Revolution," Mayors Court Records of Philadelphia, PA, Hand-written record by R. D. Murphy, and the U.S. Census records.
