Original Published (Fall River, Mass.) J.W. Bowen 1941, 182 p. "Richard and Patty resided in the house on the east side of South Main Street next to the corner of South Main and Borden Streets. It was long known as the "Patty Borden" house though of late years it has undergone extensive alterations and changes and is now (1941) occupied by stores and offices. In this house the children were all born and lived for many years. At that time Richard owned a very large portion of the territory lying south of the mill stream and extending to the Rhode Island line and from Main Street east to the pond, as well as a strip on the west between Main Street and the river. He died about the year 1824 and the commissioners who apraised his estate estimated the value of his land at $2,000. At that time the village contained about 300 inhabitants and the whole town had less than 2,000. Six years later on the death of his widow, the same land was appraised at $27,000. Richard Borden left no will but in Bristol County Probate Records Val. 62, p. 402, it shows a division of the estate was made June 28, 1825, and that on March 4, 1825., Sheffel Weaver, Joseph G. Read, and Nathaniel B. Borden of Troy were appointed appraisers of the estate. This is a very lengthy document and divides the property ($3600) among his nine children, Abraham, Thomas, Richard, Ladwick, Cook, Hannah, Amy, Grinnell, Roanna Borden and Zephaniah. He gives $400 worth of property to each of these children."

Original Published (Fall River, Mass.) J.W. Bowen 1941, 182 p. "... from the Town of Freetown in 1803, but Abraham Bowen who had visited Troy, N. Y. thought he saw a resemblance between the two places and in 1804 persuaded his fellow townsmen to change the name from Fall River to Troy. Troy it remained until 1833, but Fall River or "Falls River" seems also to have been used some time during this period. Also a part of Fall River was in Rhode Island, the State line running not far south of what is now the centre of the City, but in 1862 the boundary was changed so the present city of Fall River, Mass., included what was formerly Fall River, R. I. and a section of Tiverton as well. Abraham Bowen resided at the north-east corner of Main and Bedford Streets and his farm extended from the Bay on the West to Watuppa Pond on the east. He was a promoter of one of the first cotton mills built in Fall River, the Fall River Manufactory, formerly called the White Mill, organized with a capital of $40,000 and erected In 1813 and in the absence of banks the funds collected for this purpose (in the form of silver dollars) were kept in his tall clock. This clock is now in the possession of a descendant. At that period there was no public house of entertainment in Fall River. Abraham Bowen's house was centrally located, and he and his wife freely entertained clergymen and other persons of consequence who had occasion to visit the town. The Pocasset Manufacturing Company was incorporated in 1822 with Abraham Bowen one of the original stock holders."
