According to John Merz of the Hessian Rootsweb website: I think I did identify Henry Hase/Hose as a Hessen-Kassel soldier by the name of Heinrich Haust who was taken prisoner at Trenton, N.J. on 26. Dec. 1776. There were some Brunswick soldiers by the name of HAASE, gut their first names were Anton, Christoph, Georg, and Ludwig. No Heinrich/Henry between them. BTW. the other one you named, Henry Burkdorff, was a Brunswick soldier, Heinrich Burgdorf, from the village of Burgdorf near Braunschweig. This is what throws me off track, three of the 'Haase' came also from Braunschweig, while one (Georg) came from Hessen. Perhaps somebody can sort that out. Any further information on Henry Hose or his military service would be appreciated. Also, does anyone have a photograph of the original gravestone that was in Snell's Bush Cemetery? Thanks again, Paul Horvat

Yes, that's the one. When someone was copying things, later people read it as Hase so we don't even have a date of death for our Henry. And they were both in the Revolutionary war. We have found no marker for either person.
