Hello Nancy,

Don is right, this family came from Neuenkirchen(Oldenburg).
There was a small farm, 2 hectare, former Nurreberens, today Huesmann.
Bernard Joseph Nurre emigrated with his sister Gertrud 1839 to America.
I believe, his wife Catherine followed him later.
He donated 18000 marks for a new Roman Catholic church in Neuenkirchen, about 1888. A lot of money for this time.

This I found b Google books:
American coverlets and their weavers:
coverlets from the collection of Foster and Muriel McCarl : including a dictionary of more than 700 coverlet weavers
It listed also Joseph Nurre:

NURRE, JOSEPH
Born: 1819 in Neuenkirchen, Oldenburg, Germanv
Died: 1895
Location: Cincinnati, Hamilton Co., Ohm Extant Coverlels: 1842-1847 Corner Blocks: his name and date
History: Joseph Nurre came Co the United Statia. about 1839 with his sister and went to Cincinnati by way Baltimore. A weaver by avocation rather than occupation, he was a bookbinder and publisher of mostly religious subjects. He sold his business in 1850 then started a picture-framing business, which became the oldest enterprise of its kind in the United States. The 1850 Ohio Census, Hamilton Co., Cincinnati Ward 10, lists Joseph Nurre as a 31-year-old "book store" owner with real estate valued at $ 110,000. The 1860 Ohio Census, Hamilton Co., Cincinnati Ward 10, lists him as a 42-year-old carpet weaver with personal property valued at $ 150.

Sincerely,
