 This failure did not deter Hazen from offering a new route for invading Canada . This route went from Newbury , where Hazen owned land and knew the area , to Saint Francis , Quebec .

By July 25 , he had returned to White Plains ; the effort was abandoned for the time being because the manpower was needed in the New York area . Plans for possible attacks against Quebec based on routes departing from the Newbury area were again contemplated in the fall of 1778 , but Washington continued to resist the idea .
