First, in 1850, it would have just been Virginia. West Virginia wasn't created until 1863. So, look for censuses in Virginia for 1850 and 1860. Also, since Wheeling is on the border of West Virginia and Ohio, you might consider looking for references to him in Ohio as well (marriage, newspaper articles or court cases). You sound like you have the emigration record for Christ Stoehr and his son Ambrose Bernard Stoehr. Did they come together or was Ambrose born in the United States? Was Ambrose his only child prior to his marriage to Widow Hasenauer?
Also, folks over in the @Southern States Family History Research might have some suggestions of records to look at.
