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 April 15, 1841, Eve was appointed to post of Chargé d'affaires for the 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. However, in 1843 he was released from his assignment, succeeded by William S. Murphy on April 3, 1843. He died soon thereafter (June 1), after which his widow relocated to their residence in Kentucky.
