Eveline was born February 28, 1843, in Utica, New York, the fourth child of Enos Throop Thompson Martin and Cornelia Williams. The Martin Girls visited Silver Springs and were introduced to Washington society under the Blairs' sponsorship.

In 1866 Alexander was ordered to New Mexico for duty with the Third Cavalry, and it was in conjunction with this phase of their army sevice that Eveline began her journal.
