He was born in [[Culpeper County, Virginia]]. As a young man he moved to [[Knox County, Kentucky]]. He married Betsey Withers Ballinger in 1811; they had no children. He was a [[lawyer]] in Kentucky and was elected to the [[Kentucky House of Representatives]] three times. He was a [[colonel]] in the [[United States Army]] during the [[War of 1812]], and later served four years as a senator in the [[Kentucky Senate]]. He was a [[circuit court]] judge for a period of ten years. On 15 April 15, 1841, Eve was appointed to post of [[Chargé d'affaires]] for the [[United States Ambassador to Texas\|United States mission to the Republic of Texas]]. He was a strong advocate of U.S. annexation of the then-independent Republic. During this time, conflict between Texas and [[Mexico]] grew, and the provisional Republic seat of government was relocated several times. Eve moved his legation to [[Galveston, Texas]], hoping to benefit from the climate, as his [[tuberculosis]] was getting worse.
