Oliver Tarbell Eddy was born in Greenbush, Vermont, the oldest son of
inventor, printer, and engraver Isaac Eddy, who traced his ancestry
back to the Mayflower. Although his father instructed him how to
engrave on copper, Eddy evidently taught himself how to paint.
He married Jane Maria Burger, daughter of the silversmith Thomas
Burger, in Newburgh, New York in 1822. Eddy was active as a
portrait and miniature painter in New York City by 1826, and exhibited
a portra (showing 500 of 2473 characters). |
