Answer:

Sir George Carteret & Lord John Berkley

Step-by-step explanation:

They divided the land in half and gave control to two proprietors: Sir George Carteret (who was in charge of the east side) and Lord John Berkley (who was in charge of the west side). The land was officially named New Jersey after the Isle of Jersey in the English Channel.
