Hi Lisa.

It appears that your William O'Quin was a cousin of my grandfather Henry Parrot O'Quin. William was the son of Martha O'Quin (whose first 4 children were born out of wedlock, and who were given the O'Quin surname.) She then married Wesley Stiltner, and had 4 more children, including Fred Stiltner.

Martha O'Quin was born 20 Jul 1833, and was the third daughter of Wiley O'Quin and Martha Elizabeth Dunford.

Wiley was the first (and possibly only) son of Patrick O'Quin, (B. Jun 1750) in Ireland. I have some unsubstanciated information that Patrick may have had other children, born after the 1800 census but before Patrick's death in January, 1806. One of Patrick's potential children was named Alexander O'Quin of Sampson County, North Carolina, who had a son named Wiley, B. apx 1825. Although I have no evidence to support the relationship, the rather unusual family name of 'Wiley' is what leads me to believe that Alexander could also be Patrick's son.

Ref Patrick O'Quin
