John Cosens [
or
Cozzens] Ogden, was living in Litchfield, Connecticut, in 1799, as is shown by his correspondence with Jefferson in that year. Ogden mentioned
his tour to Canada in his
Excursion into Bethlehem & Nazareth
[no. 4011], page 85:

chapels, at Point-au-Tremble near Quebec and the Algonquin village near Montreal. When they were asked, do you worship these?
they invariably answered no, with marks of abhorrence . . .
