As for your infamous William HENSEL, I have searched high and low for him. I've got a bunch of HENSELs all put in my database now in order to try and sort them out. I've sent to the LDS site for the 1880 census and searched for any Hensel, Hensil, Hansel, etc., who was born about 1862 and none seem to match up to your William. I did the same thing at ancestry by searching the 1870 census for any Annishensel or Hensel, etc., and only females seem to be in that age bracket of your William -- at least in Fairfield county. The ONLY thing that I've found that comes close to your William Hensel is this: CENSUS: 1880 Liberty Twp., Fairfield Co., OH HENSEL, Martin 64y b OH, farmer, parents b Switzerland ", Barbara, wife 57y b Switzerland, keeping house, parents b Switzerland ", Henry, son 33y b OH ", Anna, dau 27y b OH ", Leah, dau 21y b OH ", Rachel, dau 19y b OH ", Ida S., dau 17y b OH ", Almedia, dau 15y b OH ", William, adopted son 6y b OH I double checked this particular census to see if Wm. was really listed as 6. Your Wm. would be about 18 in the 1880 census if he was truly born in 1862 which all census's from 1900 onward seem to indicate. It's just that the "adopted son" caught my eye and I thought it might be something to pursue or at least keep an eye on. There's a William Hensel b about 1862 in the Richland Twp., Marion Co., Ohio census. Parents listed are J. W. and Elizabeth. The "Marion County" kind of alerted me since for some reason he and his wife Dora remained in Columbus but sent their son Ora Lawrence Hensel to Marion, Marion Co., Ohio, and he resided with a JACKSON family and attended a school there. LOCATION: 1914 - "74 boys and girls, their ages ranging from 12-15, graduated at the twelfth and last annual Boxwell-Patterson commencement held in the High school auditorium this afternoon. The young people graduated from the rural schools preliminary to entering High school, their Boxwell-Patterson certificates entitling them to enter High schools without examination" Among the graduates listed was Ora HENSEL. [Marion Daily Star, Marion, Ohio, June 19, 1914] LOCATION: 1915 - Mr. and Mrs. Christ Laucher of east of Prospect entertained at dinner, Sunday, the following: Mr. and Mrs. E. G.

[Marion Daily Star, Marion, Ohio, March 25, 1915] Note: The Frank Jackson may be the person Ora Hensel resided with as shown in 1920 census.

Miss Ramona Mae KEPLER of Green Camp and Ora L. HENSEL of Prespect were married here by Rev. J. W. SCHILLINGER, pastor of Emanuel Lutheran Church" [Marion Star, Marion, Ohio, Feb. 9, 1944] "Friends and neighbors to the number of about 60 met at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Christ Lauder, northeast of town and gave Mr. and Mrs. Ora Hensel, who were recently married, an old-fashioned belling Wednesday night. The friends were invited into the home where a very enjoyable time was spent with music and games. Refreshments were served. Mr. and Mrs. Hensel expect to reside at the Laucher home." (Note: Is there a misspelling? LAUDER -vs- LAUCHER? Should be Laucher.)

Heer Printing Co., 1926. I guess the only way, currently, to find the parentage of Wm. HENSEL is to find his obituary and/or death certificate. Perhaps they'd shed some light. There are many William Hensel's who died in Ohio. Do you know when either Dora or William died? I found a Dora Hensel... A Dora HENSEL died June 17, 1958 in Cleveland, Cuyahoga Co., OH.
