I know of one other case of a confusion between the names Isaiah and Josiah: Isaiah/Josiah Claesen. These are the records I have for him: 19 Oct 1703; [Parents names not inserted]-Marytie, Lisabet, Maria, Cornelis, Benjamin, Willem, Jan. Witnesses: Cornelis Powels and wife. Ealry Church Records of Somerset Co., NJ, Colonial Roots, pg 30 29 May 1726; Claessen, Jesaias and Lysabeth - Jesaias. Ealry Church Records of Somerset Co., NJ, Colonial Roots,pg 50 4 Feb 1728; Claessen, Jesaias and Lisabeth; Maria; Joost Bennet. PNJHS vol 11, pg 211 [I don't know what relationship, if any, that Joost Bennet had with this couple] 2 Aug 1730; Clason, Isaiah and Elizabeth - Elizabeth. Ealry Church Records of Somerset Co., NJ, Colonial Roots, pg 104 Calendar of New Jersey Wills, Vol I, p 96. 1670-1730 1723-4 March 10. Clawson, Clauson, William, of Piscataway, Middlesex.

My understanding is that all the counties turned in their older probate records to the New Jersey Archives quite a while ago. There may still be some court related records at the county level.
