The Duke of York did not visit New Jersey often and did not do a good job of keeping it under control. So, since it was a proprietary colony, he gave half of it to Sir George Carteret in exchange for a debt and the other half to Lord Berkley of Stratton (a close friend of the Duke) So then Sir George Carteret and Lord Berkley became the two Lords Proprietors of New Jersey and the history of New Jersey continued on THE END.
