"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."

"Cook, third son of Richard and Patty (Bowen) Borden, was born January 18, 1810, in that part of Tiverton, which became Fall River, Massachusetts. He was but eighteen years of age when his father died, and early began to sustain himself. For some years he was employed by a lumber firm of Fall River, and upon deciding to engage in business on his own account, sold out his portion of the paternal estate. He engaged in the lumber trade and did a very extensive and profitable business. About 1832 he built a residence in Tiverton, which is now in the city of Fall River. Here he died September 20, 1880. He served as assessor of Tiverton and represented the town in ..."
