  Toros Sookiasian & Mariam Kojabashian
All this considered, it is more likely that Mariam was a few years younger than her established date of 1835, which would mean she had her first child at 23 (presuming she had none that died young before Diramayr) and the last at 45.
Mariam was buried at Monument Cemetery at Broad & Berks Streets, just down the street from the family residence at 816 West Berks Street, two days after her death in an unmarked plot.
Mariam and her grandson were taken with most of the other bodies from Monument to Lawnview Cemetery north of the city and buried in the Broad Lawn section.

 Saving baby Mariam - The Boston Globe
Mariam's family wondered what had happened to Walsh and the others, but the Marines decided not to tell them.
Mariam's grandparents, who traveled with her because her mother has not recovered from complications at childbirth, told Maureen Walsh they had learned of Chris' death last month, when Captain Donovan visited them at the hospital.
Mariam's family does not believe it was coincidence that Chris Walsh was the one who came into their house in hot pursuit of someone who had tried to kill him and instead put down his gun and picked up Mariam.

 Tragedy of Mariam
In The Tragedy of Mariam, however, she is characterized as an innocent woman torn between being a good wife--that is, chaste, silent, and obedient--and standing up against his tyranny to protest the deaths of her grandfather and brother, both of whom Herod had murdered in order to obtain the throne.
Mariam is, in Cary's work, a woman who is unafraid to speak her mind and eventually is killed for having such audacity in a world where the only good woman is a silent one.
Mariam continues to protest her innocence from Herod's accusation in IV.162-165 until her death, much as did many Christian saints who were tortured and martyred for their faithfulness to Christ.

 Dismembering Discourses in The Tragedy of Mariam
Mariam must choose between speaking as her own "inner" voice dictates, or conforming to the demands of a masculine culture that insists upon females being silent and obedient to the males who control them, in Mariam's case, Herod, her husband.
Mariam's problem is essentially private, although she begins the play by attempting to sway public opinion in her favor by exposing that her husband has killed her kin and has provided for her own murder.
Mariam's spiritual/intellectual "dismemberment" then is twofold: she utters what she thinks in public and is condemned by the Chorus, but she is also unable to express herself, "chastely," to her husband because her desire is to separate herself from him also.

 Background, Cary, The Tragedy of Mariam   (Site not responding. Last check: )
The speeches in The Tragedy of Mariam might resemble the longer speeches in Arcadia--both reflect early modern education in rhetoric, which often required the ability to deliberate in speeches--although the speeches in The Tragedy of Mariam, unlike Sidney's prose, are in rhyming iambic pentameter.
The Tragedy of Mariam is largely based on an account by the Jewish historian Josephus of the marriage and subsequent murder of the Jewish Queen Mariam, married to King Herod.
Mariam is also Maccabean; because Antigonus had usurped power from another member of Mariam's family, Mariam's grandfather Hyrcanus supported Herod's rule and Herod's marriage to Mariam.
