Here (almost) all names and birth dates match with Dutch records (need to examine Judith vs Sophia). It seems that he felt more comfortable in using civil name Joseph rather than Hebrew name Isaiah. The first letter being "J" in the Dutch spelling of this Hebrew name possibly made this more "natural". Also he probably could not say "f" well enough in an English accent, and the enumerator heard "p" for the last letter of his family name.
