Leonhart Andre and Sarah Jung were married around 1819, based on the date of birth of their first child in 1820. Their names, along with the following information, comes from US Census records, their children's death certificates, and a few newspaper articles.

The Leonhart Andre family lived in Northampton County PA, per 1820, 1830, 1840, 1850 and 1860 US Census records. They had at least ten children, all of whom can be linked to their parents through census records or their death certificates, with the exception of Abraham, whose parents' names are engraved on his headstone, "Leonhart & Sara Andre".

These children are:
John Andre (1820-1891)
Abraham Andre (1823-1824)
John Adam "Adam" Andre (1825-1898)
Sally Ann Andre (1827-)
Reuben Andre (1831-1913)
Sabina Andre (1833-1919)
Leonard Andre (1834-1912)
Lydia Andre (1828-1902)
Eliza Sophia Andre (1840-1918)
Levi Andre (1843-1924)

The father, Leonhart, is not listed with the family in the 1850 US Census & wife is listed as "widowed" in 1860 US Census, so he likely died between 1843 (after the birth of his youngest child) and 1850, however I have no evidence of this.

The youngest daughter, Eliza Sophia Andre, married William Henry Bruch in Pennsylvania in 1865. They moved to Iowa shortly thereafter, along with Eliza's mother Sarah Andre. Sarah Andre can be found in the 1870 and 1880 US Census records, living at the Bruch home in Iowa. Sarah Andre died May 21, 1882, and is buried at Pleasant Hill Cemetery in Blairstown IA, as is her daughter Eliza Sophia (Andre) Bruch, Eliza's husband William Bruch, and most of the Bruch children & spouses. Note also that William Bruch (and later his sons) owned farms in Blairstown IA, as indicated in census records, land records, and confirmed by my father-in-law, David Bruch age 84, who remembers visiting his grandfather's (Morris Bruch's) farm in Blairstown.

In summary, to support the fact that Sarah Andre (FindAGrave Memorial ID 130023646) is the mother of Abraham Andre, his parents' names "Leonhart & Sara Andre" are engraved on his headstone. Leonhart & Sarah Andre had at least nine other children, one of whom is Eliza Sophia (Andre) Bruch. Eliza, along with her mother Sarah, are living in Iowa in 1870 and 1880, and both can be found on FindAGrave, buried at Pleasant Hill Cemetery in Blairstown IA.
