Calvin Calhoun Judy was the son of William Judt and his first wife, Mary Darby. He was born in the part of Colleton District, South Carolina, which is likely Dorchestr County, South Carolina, today.

According to the "Judy Family History" by Lillie M. Massey [paraphrased for clarity]: "Sometime after the Civil War, Calhoun Judy and his brother Jasper were on the way to Florida with their father William. While camping near Jacksonville, FL, Calhoun ran away. His father searched in vain for him, but finally continued on to Lake County, FL. with Jasper. Years later, Calhoun showed up at his brother's home, where they took a photo together. After two short visits, unable to get along with his brother, Calhoun left and never returned."

On 22 Apr 1886, Calvin Judy married Susan Cordelia Dunn in Wichita County, Texas. In the years 1887-1889 he is assessed for over 600 acres of land. He is not located in any census records before 1900, when he first appears in prison in Oregon. As stated in his obituary, he was paroled in 1909 and after 3 years he was back in prison for violating his parole. However, in 1910, his youngest son was living with him while he was out of prison. It may be shortly after this time, that he went to Florida to see his brother which could be the reason he violated his parole. However, this is only speculation as that would be a long way to go.

Calhoun's ashes were not initially claimed after his death, but at least by March 2016 his ashes were no long being held at Oregon State Hospital. It is believed his cremains were claimed by a relative.
