Miriam was the youngest of nine children born to John Draper and Abigail Cheney of Dover, Mass. She was married in Dover on 13 October 1797 to Josiah Knowlton, the son of William Knowlton and Rachel Anderson of Medway, MA. Following her death her husband likely remarried, as he appears on both the 1820 and 1830 censuses for Dover with a like-aged female, but no children.
While no burial record for Miriam has been found, since she died in Dover, she is most certainly buried in this main town cemetery where her parents and a brother are buried.
