Note H307From Pioneer Recollections of the Early 30's and 40's in Sandusky County, Ohio (Bowland, 1896), p. 298:

"James D. Hensel, an energetic agriculturist of Sandusky township, Sandusky county, was born February 19, 1849, on the farm now owned by his uncle, Daniel Hensel, and is the eldest son of Adam and Mary J. Hensel.

The maternal grandparents of Mr. Hensel were natives of Northumberland county, Penn., and of German descent. They moved to Perry county, Ohio, in 1819, where their eldest son, Adam, was born in 1825. Their attention was then attracted by the fertility of the Black Swamp, and in 1827 they located on the banks of Little Mud creek, four miles west of Fremont. At that time there were but three families living between Muscalonge and Perrysburg, north of the Perrysburg road.

Adam Hensel was married to Mary J. Benner in 1847; to them were born six children: James D., Ellen M., wife of John Fangboner; she died at the age of twenty-four years, leaving two children - Irvin and Mertella, who live with their father in Fremont. Sarah E. and Harriet S. both reside in Chicago, Ill.; Harriet is married and has two Children, Mary and Allen. Alice C. and husband, A.J. Walters, with their daughters, Jessie and Madge A., live in Montpelier, Ohio; and Emma C. married W.S. Diggs, and they with their two children, Ethel E. and Ione, reside in Winchester, Indiana.

Mr. Hensel grew to manhood on a farm, receiving his education in the common schools, and remained at home until his marriage to Miss Savilla Wolfe, February 6, 1873. She was born January 25, 1850, in Sandusky county. They have two daughters: Nora O., born December 4, 1873, was educated in Fremont school and Ohio Normal University, and is now a teacher in the schools of Sandusky county, and Mabel M., born December 9, 1877. Mr Hensel settled on the old homestead, which he purchased after the death of his father in 1887. He belongs to the younger element of progressive farmers in Sandusky township, and owns seventy-seven acres of god land. In politics he is a Democrat, and in religious connection he is a member of the Reformed Church. Fraternally, he affiliates with the Independent Order of Odd Fellows."
