If you go to www.familysearch.org and type in his name, he's listed in the Pedigree Resource File submitted by Eric Emfield of Idaho and has his address. Have you been in contact with that person? The 1880 census, though, shows this Arthur with different parents, but same age as the one you're seeking -- and he has several siblings. I have some HENSEL's in that county, but earlier than 1876. Some were in the Pickaway Co., Ohio area as well. What leads you to Fairfield county with your Arthur Hensel? I see several in the 1880 census who are all about the same age. How do you know for sure who his parents are? Were you able to find him in any census records? I'm curious as to where you found him in 1880 as the only one I found who was born in Ohio was the one in Liberty and the parents there are shown as Jacob and Jane.
