Frederick Peabody Leavenworth was born in 1833 to Abner Johnson Leavenworth (1803-1869) of Petersburg, Virginia. At the time of his enlistment in the Confederate army in 1862, F.P. Leavenworth was in Van Buren, Arkansas. Appointed as captain in the Ordnance Department of the Trans-Mississippi in 1863, Leavenworth serves as commander of the Confederate arsenal in Shreveport, Louisiana, 1863-1864. At that time, Shreveport was headquarters of the Trans-Mississippi Department and a major military supply depot for Texas, Arkansas, Louisiana, and Missouri. After the fall of Shreveport, Leavenworth moved to Jefferson, Texas, to command the rapidly expanding ordnance supply depot there. He was there to surrender his facility at the end of the Civil War in 1865. He and his wife Eliza Leavenworth had one daughter, Hester Leavenworth.
