They seem to have established for the most part early on in Green County, Wisconsin.
This is likely some of the family in the 1860 US Census, Not using the Moe or Moen name yet. Andrew (Andreas) birth year of 1840 is a better match than the 1837 that pops ups later in the records.

This is likely his father and mother in the 1880 Census. Still in Green County Wisconsin. The children have alll scattered. He is also using Moe as his name the O of a middle name is likely short for Olsen.

The Family Tree on Family Search lists two of Ole Olsen Moe children but not Andreas.. Looks as if the oldest son Ole arried in Norway and came separate from his father and mother and the rest of the family.
Ole Olsen Massingmoen
Male
2 January 1829 – Deceased
