Yes, but it's not called Old Jersey, it's just called "Jersey."

The "old" Jersey is a Channel Island between England and France. When England took possession of the Dutch colonies in America, two friends of king Charles II, Sir George Carteret and Lord (John) Berkeley of Stratton, were given the grant between the Hudson River in New York and the Delaware River in Maryland. The colony was named for the isle of Jersey where Carteret's family had aided the king during his exile in the 1640s.
