Evelyn Haas Jones says Anna Elisabeth married Peter Pool (or Buhl?) after John Henry. Peter Buhl’s wife was named Elisabeth and Peter and Elisabeth did have some association with the Haas family (1746 and 1748 baptisms), but too early to be this Elisabeth since John Henry was still quite alive.

John Henry clearly married Anna Elizabeth after he immigrated. I have no idea what her maiden name was.

Annette Burgert cites his baptism in Freinsheim, Germany 15 Jul 1714, son of Hieronymous and Christina. He pre-deceased his father well after the whole family had moved to America and his father mentioned Henry’s children in his will.

IMMIGRANT. He came to America with his father. It is not known when they arrived but John Henry was probably a child or at most a teenager.

Hieronymous and his son John Henry were important early members of the Trappe Lutheran Church in Montgomery County which calls itself the oldest Lutheran Church in America (technically the claim is that the unchanged church building has been continuously used the longest). A dedication plaque over the door mentions H Haas as one of the six elders upon its formation in 1743.

When he died in 1751, he made a bequest to the Lutheran Church of Providence Township in his will, which is said to be the earliest such bequest. His will mentioned his father Hieronymous, his wife Anna Elizabeth and eldest son, but yet a minor, John Valentine. He referred to his six other, unnamed, children. (However, we know all their names from his father’s will.) His land consisted of a 200 acre plantation.
