In the 1880 U. S. census for Isle of Wigt County VA there is a name, Ada Bowden, age 15, b. VA. Father Wm Bowden, b. VA.In the 1870 Isle of Wigt census the name is shown as Indiana, age 4.I wonder if that was a middle name.
I don't believe the wife shown in 1880 is the mother of this Ada.The name and age are different in 1870, and there is a much younger child in the home, often a clue that it is a 2nd marriage.
Death certificate information is sometimes wrong, but nonetheless, I would not discount it entirely.
