Scott, I don't think McQuinn is so new after all. My line is Quinn born Ireland went to Scotland became Queen then added McQueen. The family moved to Liverpool after the agri business slowed down and industry developed in the big cities like Liverpool where they stayed. Their children used McQueen and that continued by the father and mother were listed as Owen McQuinn and Margaret McQuinn on the death records in Liverpool. I think it's the change from the Gaelig to the English where the names were confused and today Quinn and Queen are often interchangable.

His date of birth of about 1765 has been estimated from census and tax records. >From records that exist, his birthplace has been assumed to be Virginia. The first official record found for Braxton McQuin(n) is the 1788 personal property tax list lower district, Russell County, VA. By 1791 he is in Wilkes County, NC where he buys 200 acres from John Burroughs located on Big Elkin Creek.. In 1796 he is the administrator of the estate of Charles McQueen (his name also spelled McQueen in this record) In the 1800 Wilkes County census he is shown with 3 young males, one young female and an older female in his household. This family is assumed to be that of the deceased Charles McQueen as it does not conform to later known family records. Braxton McQuin(n) cannot be located in the 1810 census, but it is known by that year he is married to Mary "Polly" Poe. In fact his first son Marshall McQuinn was born in 1804. Braxton was an attorney and presented his license in both Burke and Ashe counties in addition to Wilkes. By 1819 he is in Clay County, KY and may have moved there earlier. He is also found in Floyd and Perry Counties,KY and dies between 1834 and 1837 in Perry County, KY. His widow and children are in MO by 1840.

Patricia, Rootsweb just added the surname McQuinn to their list per my request. I know the name has been around a long time, but the list is new. Have you checked out the DNA study at www.relativegenetics.com?
