James Martin O'Rourke - 1865 birth record

I am looking for a birth record for my great-grandfather James Martin O'Rourke. I have a letter written by my great-uncle George Martin O'Rourke in 1974, where he says of his father (James Martin) that he "was born about 1865 on a small farm near Kenosha, Wisconsin. He and two sisters were orphans quite young and were brought up by an uncle, a farmer. The O'Rourke farmers came from Ireland during the potato famine between 1846 and 1851 and farmed in New York state before moving on to Wisconsin. They were natives of County Cavin, Ireland."
So, I do not know the names of the parents of James Martin O'Rourke, but am hoping to find that information in a birth record.
Any assistance will be very much-appreciated. Thank-you!
Melissa O'Rourke
