Johann Bernard Berghaus

Dear friends, I am searching for the birthplace and ancestors of Johann
Bernard Berghaus, born about Jan 23, 1825, although there is some confusion
about that. He is listed as coming from Prussia but I believe the more
accurate location is Kreis Steinfurt. He traveled to the US before 1852,
when he married Clara Elisabeth Schnier in Cincinnati, Ohio. She was the
daughter of Anton Heinrich Schnier of Greven and his wife, Theresia Kemper,
also of Greven. I have a very much information on him and his children
after he came to the US but nothing before that. Could anyone help?
