Census transcriptions are notorious for errors, both in the way they were written down in the first place and then in the interpretation given by the transcriber doing the computerised index.

Who and what exactly is it you are trying to find, and where are you looking?

In terms of sound alikes, how about Jonas or John? John also seems likely for mistranscriptions of copperplate writing too. There's also Jabez as a biblical similarity.
