Eaton attended public schools in his native state, and in 1803, he enrolled in the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. In 1804, he commenced the study of law, received admittance to the bar, moved to Middle Tennessee, and established a law practice in Franklin. Eaton joined the Tennessee State Militia, attaining the rank of major, and developed a close friendship with Andrew Jackson. Eaton served as Jackson's aide during the Creek War and War of 1812, and was with him at the Battle of New Orleans. From 1815 to 1816, he served in the Tennessee House of Representatives. In 1818, the Tennessee Legislature appointed him to fill a vacancy in the U.S. Senate though, at age twenty-eight, Eaton did not meet the requirement in the U.S. Constitution that all senators must be at least thirty years of age. In September 1821, he won election as a Jacksonian Republican to U.S. Senate, serving in that body until 1829, when he resigned to become secretary of war in Andrew Jackson's administration. As secretary of war, Eaton played an active role in Indian removal, negotiating with Indian tribes to secure their relocation west across the Mississippi River.
Eaton married his first wife, Myra Lewis, in 1813. Myra Eaton died in 1815, and in 1829, he married his second wife, Peggy O'Neill Timberlake. Eaton's marriage to Peggy Timberlake scandalized Washington society and divided Jackson's cabinet. Eaton resigned in 1831 to defuse the controversy, and Jackson took that opportunity to purge his cabinet of those who had not supported the Eatons. From 1834 to 1836, Eaton served as governor of the Florida Territory, and in March 1836, Jackson appointed him ambassador to Spain. Upon his return to Washington in May 1840, Eaton refused to endorse Martin Van Buren for a second term, joining the Whig Party and supporting William Henry Harrison instead, drawing the ire of Jackson. Eaton retired The model chosen by the artist was far too black, and he has failed to eliminate that appearance. - Athenaeum, May 12, 1860 Fig. 1, Simeon Solomon, The Mother of Moses, 1860.

At the 1860 annual exhibition of the Royal Academy of Arts in London, the Jewish artist Simeon Solomon (1840–1905) exhibited an oil painting called Moses, now known as The Mother of Moses (fig. 1), depicting an infant in the arms of his mother with his sister looking on. Solomon painted this biblical picture in the Pre-Raphaelite style that favored naturalism over academic idealism. Although the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood (including the artists William Holman Hunt [1827–1910], John Everett Millais [1829–96], and Dante Gabriel Rossetti [1828–82]) had disbanded by the mid-1850s, their work, with its intimate, naturalistic details and bright colors inspired by art made before the time of Raphael, continued to influence Solomon and other young artists.toc_module.html#ftn1" id="ftnref1">[1] Solomon presented to Victorian audiences a historical narrative painting inspired by the book of Exodus; a depiction of Orientalism; and a sentimental portrayal of a mother and her two children. As a nineteen-year-old Jewish artist making his mark with an Old Testament subject—shown to predominantly Protestant viewers at the Royal Academy—Solomon was drawing on the history of the Israelites and his own Judaic heritage. This included his family’s experience living through “Jewish Emancipation” in nineteenth-century England, when Jews were gradually granted more legal rights that allowed them to become integrated into British society and improve their socioeconomic status.[2] Fig. 2, Simeon Solomon, Fanny Eaton, 1860.

T A magisterial history of the Indian subcontinent British merchant and politician c. 1590–1658 Theophilus Eaton Statue of Governor Theophilus Eaton at Connecticut State Capitol, Hartford, CT. Theophilus Eaton (c. 1590—January 7, 1658) was a wealthy New EnglandPuritan merchant, diplomat and financier, who took part in organizing and financing the Great Puritan Migration to America. He was a founder of Massachusetts Bay Colony, and a founder and eventual governor of New Haven Colony. He also cofounded Boston, Massachusetts, Greenwich, Connecticut and Eaton's Neck in New York. His brother, Nathaniel Eaton, became the first headmaster of Harvard college, building Harvard Yard and Harvard Library, and his son, Samuel Eaton, became one of the seven founders of the Harvard Corporation. He was born at Stony Stratford, Buckinghamshire, England about 1590, to Rev. Richard Eaton and his wife, Elizabeth. His father was a graduate of the University of Oxford in 1599, at Lincoln College, and may have been the curate at that time. He later became in 1607 Prebendary of Lincoln Cathedral and Vicar of Great Budworth, Cheshire. Theophilus married Grace Hiller, and had two daughters, Mary and Elizabeth Eaton, who died young. Grace Hiller died in 1626. See also: Yale (surname) In 1627 he remarried, this time to a widow, Anne Yale, who was the daughter of George Lloyd, the Bishop of Ches
The Indian subcontinent might seem a self-contained world. Protected by vast mountains and seas, it has created its own religions, philosophies and social systems. And yet this ancient land experienced prolonged and intense interaction with the peoples and cultures of East and Southeast Asia, Europe, Africa and, especially, Central Asia and the Iranian plateau between the eleventh and eighteenth centuries.
Richard M. Eaton's wonderful new book tells this extraordinary story with relish and originality. His major theme is the rise of 'Persianate' culture - a transregional world informed by a canon of texts that circulated across Asia. Introduced to India in the eleventh century by Afghan dynasties, this culture would become thoroughly indigenized by the time of the great Mughals in the sixteenth, seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. This long-term process of cultural interaction and assimilation is reflected in India's language, cuisine, attire, religion, styles of rulership and warfare, science, art, music, architecture and more.
The book brilliantly elaborates the complex encounter between India's Sanskrit culture - which continued to flourish and grow throughout this period - and Persian culture, which helped shape the Delhi Sultanate, the Mughal Empire and a host of regional states, and made India what it is today.Theophilus Eaton
