The Rev. J. H. Johns 'History of the Rock Presbyterian Church' pg. #34 (persons 
buried in Sharp's Graveyard) incorrectly lists one 'Lillie W. Quinn' (pg. #38). 
This individual is in fact Lillie W. QUEIN*, my g.g. aunt. This error has been 
perpetuated in the records of the Hist. Soc. of Cecil Co. at Elkton. The 
following is a list individuals buried in Sharp's Cemetery surnamed QUEIN:
 
1. Robert Quein 1820-1904
2. Emeline Morrison Quein 1821-1876 (daug. of David Morrison 3 of New London, 
   Pa. and Elizabeth Morrison 1799-1891 buried Cherry Hill Methodist, maiden 
   name unk. b. Md.
3. Lillie W. Quein 1865-1870
4. Effie Quein infant
5. John Wanamaker Quein 1847-1930
6. Sarah E. Murphy Quein 1855-1937 daug. of Wm. J. Murphy and Mahalah C. Wooden. 
   both of Md.
7. George Algernon Quein 1873-1922 (my maternal grandfather)
8. Claudia E. Quein 1918-1918
 
The surname Quein, is an alternate spelling of (M') Queen. Scots-Irish.
