Calvin was the 6th son born of Jonathan Eastman (1717-1807) and the 11th of 15 children born of Jonathan and his 2nd wife Elizabeth Wood (1724-1800). Calvin's siblings were: Hannah (b. 1740), Lydia (1745-1796), Bathsheba (b. 1746), Enoch (1748-1829), Cyprean (1748/9-1798), Bathsheba (1751-1843), Jonathan (1753-1816), Peter (b. 1754), Stephen (1755-1819), Esther (1757-1837), Miriam (1758-1839), Oliver (b. 1762), Amos (1763-1864), Justin (1764-1772), and Amy (1766-1853).
In 1764, or slightly before, Calvin, at about the age of 4 years, moved to Bennington on the New Hampshire Grants (later Bennington County, Vermont), with his parents. Bennington was first settled, June 18, 1761. In 1766 or 1767, the Eastmans were among the first settlers to move onto the 1st division lots in Rupert, Bennington County, Vermont and commenced clearing the land in what is now called East Rupert.
Calvin served as a Private, for 6 days and marched 80 miles, while in Captain Tehan Noble's Company, Colonel Ira Allen's 6th Regiment of Vermont Miltia when that Company was called out to respond to the alarm of March 26, 1780. Later in the same year, October and November 1780, he served as a Private for 8 days in Captain Nathaniel Smith's Company, Colonel Ira Allen's 6th Regiment of Vermont Militia. That call up and march to Castleton in Rutland County, Vermont was in response to the alarm caused by the raid led by British Major Christopher Carleton into the Lake Champlain Valley and beyond. Soon after arriving at Castleton, Calvin and 3 other men enlisted out of Captain Smith's Company into Captain John Stark's Company of the same Regiment and served therein for 14 days on the same alarm.
In October 1781, Calvin served as a Private in Captain Nathaniel Smith's Company, Colonel Ira Allen's 6th Regiment of Vermont Militia for 7 days. In 1782, he was on duty 3 days in the same Company serving the State of Vermont.
Calvin married Lois Standish on March 21, 1787 at Rupert.
Bristol, Addsion County, Vermont was 1st permanently settled in the spring of 1786. Calvin's brother Cyprian soon thereafter joined the 1st two settlers. Calvin joined his brother Cyprian and the other early settlers in Bristol before the taking of the 1st US Census in Vermont in 1791.
