In the 1860 census of Perry TWP, Wood Co, OH, (p311) there is a Christopher Keifer, with wife Mahala and 1 year old son, William.
Christopher is a son of William Keefer and Barbara Kreps. The history of Wood County says William (father) was born in Mahoning County.
Mahala is also referred to as Matilda.
Her last name is variously spelled Mackreal or McCrill. She is supposedly from Ashland
County, 22 years old in 1860.
I hope this pans out for you.
