One of the children of Coonrod and Polly (Hoffman)Wilsey is listed as;James bn. Nov. 22, 1814. A Bible record shows children as follows: John bn. Sept. 8?, 1803,(M?)Nathias ?T. bn Nov. 22? 1805, Leonard bn Mar 15, 1804, ambrose bn Apr. 15, 1804, ambrose bn april 30, 1809, James bn Nov. 22, 1811, Hoffman bn. Nov. 27, 1814, Henrich bn. apr 23 1817.
Polly (mother) bn. Nov 8, 1783 and Coonrod(father) bn Oct. 28, 1781.
The James you found in the 1870 census would have been born approx. 1812 making him a good candidate to be Hoffman's brother.The 1870 Rockford, Il census shows Hoffman to be 58 years old.
