Tintype of Edwin Eustace (1856-1934), who was four generations removed from Revolutionary War veteran William and Anne Eustace. Edwin Eustace, who was bi-racial, was the son of Louisa E. Eustace, a once enslaved woman, and James B. Eustace, who was the great-grandson of William Eustace. Edwin Eustace was Sonja Addison’s great-grandfather.
