It's also possible they may have lived in Ohio in 1870, especially since Mason is a border County. Also, the only other Crowder family in Mason Co., in 1880, has a 15 year old daughter shown as born in Ohio, while the younger children were listed as born in WV. Although all of Narcissa's children are listed as born in WV in 1880, it doesn't necessarily mean they were. ( I think we've all had our fair share of families, where we KNOW where they were born, but have to wonder just where the census taker came up with their information. lol) Unfortunately the 1870 Ohio information isn't indexed on Ancestry yet, so I couldn't check.
