I do not have any information about my Rhoda Lewis marrying Zebulon Birch.I don't know very much about Rhoda Lewis other than (a) she was the daughter of Richard Lewis, (b) her brother was also a Richard Lewis, (c) she had a sister Harriet who married another Holloway, (d) she lived in Edgefield, SC, (e) she predeceased her husband Ransom Holloway, (f) she had at least two children with Ransom, Richard Lewis Holloway and a daughter (I forget the name), (g) she died before 1840 (I would have to check for the precise date), and (h) she gave birth to Richard Lewis Holloway on January 14, 1825.
So, if she was married to Zebulon Birch, he would have been her husband prior to Ransom Holloway and the Birch marriage would have been over (presumably due to Birch's death) prior to 1825. I have never seen any reference to her as Rhoda Birch, and I tend to doubt the earlier marriage.
