From the Calvin W. & Mary Susan Bowman-Seale Family Bible records:
"Calvin Washington Seale was Bornd the 15th day of November A.D. 1851.
Calvin Washington Seale Died in the Confederate Service on the 14th day of May in the year 1863 and was 32 years and six months old when he died."
His sister, Elizabeth Seale-Ball wrote:
"My oldest brother, Calvin, and the younger one, Cazwell, were natural musicians. When I was a little girl brother Calvin drove six yoke of oxen to his big wagon from Brazos County near Little Creek, Alcorn Creek, Bowman Creek, to Houston, to get freight. We called it "freighting barrels" as barrels were used for sugar and molasses; coffee came in big sacks, it was still green, had to be parched and ground at home; salt came in large sacks. Everything was unloaded in our Kitchen...
Calvin died in Indian Territory."
