  British overseas territory - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A United Kingdom overseas territory (formerly known as a dependent territory or earlier as a crown colony) is a territory that is under the sovereignty and formal control of the United Kingdom but is not part of the United Kingdom proper (Great Britain and Northern Ireland).
Overseas territories should be distinguished from crown dependencies (the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man, which have a different constitutional relationship with the United Kingdom), and protectorates (which were not formally under the sovereignty of the United Kingdom).
Colonies that did not join the Commonwealth are Burma, Aden (now part of Yemen), and the original thirteen United States of America.

 Crown Colony class cruiser - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Crown Colony-class light cruisers of the Royal Navy were named after Crown Colonies of the British Empire.
Due to the size of the Crown Colony class, a number of the ships had to have one of their main turrets removed to allow 40 mm Bofors anti-aircraft guns to be added.
All ships of the Crown Colony-class were decommissioned from the Royal Navy by the late 1960s, though none of them were the last cruisers of the Royal Navy.

Overseas territories or crown colonies should also be distinguished from Crown dependencies (the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man, which have a different constitutional relationship with the United Kingdom), and protectorates (which were not formally under the sovereignty of the United Kingdom).
Crown colonies have never been considered integral parts of the United Kingdom, and have never had representation in the British Parliament, on the grounds that they are separate jurisdictions.
Colonies that did not join the Commonwealth are Burma; Aden, now Yemen; the United States, Israel or the Republic of Ireland.

 South Jersey Heritage - R. Craig Koedel: Chapter 2: From Quaker Commonwealth to Crown Colony
The leadership of the Society of Friends was eager to found a colony in the New World where they would be safe from persecution, and in which they could establish a commonwealth resting on the political, moral, and social tenets of their faith.
Baptists from England, Ireland, the colonies of Virginia and Pennsylvania, and New England settled at Cape May and in Fenwick’s Colony during the last quarter of the century.
By the last decade of the 17th century, it had become evident that proprietary government, as it operated in New Jersey, was of neither the stability nor the efficiency needed to maintain the civil and economic well-being of the people, in particular the land owners.
