He was wounded in action during the 1861 Battle of Port Royal. During 1863 he commanded the schooner Kittatinny as part of the West Gulf Blockading Squadron under Rear Admiral David Farragut. Seyburn resigned his commission in 1864 due to war injuries and initially settled in Maine. He later moved to Louisiana, where he operated a sugar plantation.
Isaac D. Seyburn was born in Wales in March 1824. He was 5 ft 6 in (1.68 m), 135 lb (61 kg). had blue eyes and dark hair. By profession, he was a "Master Mariner."
On March 15, 1848, he was married in Pittston, Maine, to Mary Ann Rogers who was born in New York City on November 20, 1828. She was a daughter of John Rogers (1800–1863) and Elizabeth Carroll Reynolds (1806–1871). Elizabeth C. Reynolds’ family is descended from Christopher Reynolds who settled in what is now Isle of Wight County, Virginia (on the south shore of the James River about 10 miles (16 km) west of Newport News), before 1630 and received a land grant of 450 acres (1.8 km2) in 1636.
