I am passing on a reply which I made to a Burcham researcher, just in case
anyone else is interested in these people:
"I have only recently discovered that Rachel Evans was married to James
Burcham. She was first married to John Couchman, who is my relative, and who
died in 1827. I have his probate record. It includes a receipt (10 Feb 1834)
for $7.75 received from an executor of the estate; the receipt is signed A.
Evans for James Burchum & Rachel Burchum formerly Rachel Couchman. Another
receipt (Oct 14, 1834) for $6 from the estate was signed by James Burcham;
the signature was faded so I can't tell how he spelled it.
Jesse and Andrew Evans were listed as buyers of some of the items sold from
the estate. A. Evans was identified as a collector of tax from the estate,
1829.
John's two farms were left to their daughter Mary Ann Elizabeth; proceeds
were to support the daughter and his beloved wife Rachel as long as she
remained his widow. They were only married two years.
I have this record of the marriages:
[Indiana State Library Genealogy Division Indiana Marriages Through 1850
http://199.8.200.90:591/c-d.html
Couchman John Evans Rachel Owen 8-31-1825 lic [no
record of the marriage in Owen Co., just the license. They probably married
in a nearby co. John had two farms, one in Owen Co. and one in Daviess Co.]
Coutchman Rachel Burcham James Owen 11-29-1831]
This also appeared during a search:

Ancestry.com]
If this is correct, it seems to indicate that Rachel and John moved to
Indiana after their daughter's birth in 1827. Others in John's family were
there as early as 1819."
