Further notes from page i of the above referenced work:
"John and Rhoda used the name O'Quin. There is reason to believe that John's parents may also have been recorded under the name Ogwin or Oguin. A fact of the times was that many early settlers did not read or write and the documents recording their passing spelled the names as they sounded to the scribe. At some time, the name O'Quin became O'Quinn. Throughout the genealogical listing of this book, the name O'Quinn is used for all descendants of John and Rhoda for consistency and convenience."
