New Jersey was originally part of the Dutch New Netherland colony. When James Duke of York (eventually King James II) was given the New York colony by the king in 1665, he gave part of it to a creditor to pay off a debt and another bit a friend. Those two regions became the province of New Jersey.
There are two colonies that are the same. The two colonies that are the same are American colony and New Hampshire colony.
The two colonies that claimed land west of their borders were the Massachusetts Bay Colony and the Virginia Colony. Massachusetts extended its claims into present-day New York and parts of the Ohio Valley, while Virginia laid claim to territories that included parts of what is now Kentucky and Tennessee. These territorial claims often led to conflicts with Native American tribes and other colonial powers.
