b. The Obadiah Bowen Lot, where Nathaniel and Esther, his parents, several siblings, and many children and grandchildren are buried, is some two hundred feet south of School House Road, Warren, where it intersects with Market Street. Nathaniel Bowen was given the land that included the already old cemetery on 7 May 1729 by his father Thomas Bowen, who described the property as follows:[19]
All that mesuage farm or Tenement Lying on both sides the highway where I now Dwell in Swansey aforsed Excepting and Reserving the burying place that is and was bounded out by My honoured father obadiah Bowen deceased lying in the old orchard on the south side…bounded North and way west on ye Country Road.
In a later deed this property was described as "a farm or tract of land of forty acres, part arable, part meadow, part pasture," with a dwelling house, outbuilding, and a small salt meadow."[20] In exchange for the gift, Nathaniel made a deed in 1729 allowing his father "the
improvement of the House and land whereon he now dwells for their living, During their natural lives."[21] Late in life Nathaniel Bowen transferred the land on which the cemetery is located to his son James, and James in turn left the land equally to his eleven children, who sold most of it to Thomas Handy in 1839.[22] The house of "T. Handy" across the road from the Obadiah Bowen cemetery is marked on the 1870 Beers map of Warren.[23] When Nathaniel was a boy, this land was in Rehoboth, Massachusetts, but in 1747 when the borders were redrawn, it became part of Warren, Rhode Island. Considerably northeast of the center of town, this area was much more rural than the center of Warren in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.
Their burial ground stands out from thousands of others in Rhode Island and Massachusetts for the six generations of a single family who rest within its walls.

Although Peleg Bowen was not principally a mariner, he did go to sea at least once. On 14 Nov. 1799, the town clerk of Warren gave him a birth certificate to use in his application for a seaman's protection certificate at Newport.[197] Shortly after his marriage, Peleg Bowen, tanner, bought nine and a half acres in Warren from Carder Hazard, and in 1812 he gave a mortgage to Benjamin Cranston, father of his brother-in-law William Cranston.[198] Peleg Bowen, yeoman, and his wife Ruth joined his siblings in 1839 in the sale of the land inherited from James Bowen.[199] In 1850 Peleg Bowen, 72, a farmer with property worth $500, was enumerated in Warren with his wife and several adult children.[200]
Peleg made his will 4 March 1850, with legacies for his wife Ruth and daughters Hannah Brown and Martha Bowen, and it was proved at Warren 4 Jan. 1851.[201] The 1860 census of Warren included Ruth Bowen, 77, as head of a household with Martha Bowen, Hannah Brown, and John and Elizabeth Andrews and two children.[202] Ruth had joined the First Baptist Church of Warren 20 Sept. 1812 and remained a member to her death.[203]"
