25. The next year [1792], he [Wiliam
Losee] and Darius Dunham, were appointed to supply
the work in Canada, and it was divided into two circuits,
Cataraqui and Oswegotchie, both of them
designated by formidable Indian names. Cataraqui was used
interchangeably with Kingston, as the former was the ancient
name of the place; and Oswegotchie was named from a river
and fort on the American side of the St. Lawrence, near
where Ogdensburgh now stands, bearing that same
name—although the labors of the preachers were bestowed on
the Canada side. Dunham had special charge of the former
circuit, Losee of the latter; yet, as Mr. D. alone was in
full ministerial orders, he probably sometimes exchanged
with the other for the purpose of dispensing the ordinances
[sacraments]. At the close of the year, 255 members were
returned for Cataraqui, and 90 for the other—345 in all.
