Frederic Percival Leverett, son of Frederic Percival Leverett and Matilda Gorham of Boston, MA.
His parents died young and Frederic Jr. was taken in by his father's brother Charles Edward Leverett and his wife Mary Maxcy who removed from MA to SC around 1831.
Frederic attended Harvard College and in 1857 was practicing medicine at the Hospital of the Protestant Episcopal Church in Philadelphia, PA.
A quote from Frederic to his brother Milton when Milton entered College: "Remember that you are a Leverett and that you have a Leverett's reputation to maintain, also that you are a Maxcy. Be daunted by nothing, and if at times your efforts be not crowned with success, let it but instigate you to greater future exertion."
Also in 1857, he went on a trip to Europe for two years where he continued to study medicine.
Frederic was a surgeon in Gregg's Texas Brigade during the Civil War. Due to the Civil War his father could not get Fred's body from Richmond, VA to SC. Fred was buried at Hollywood Cemetery on the Bluffs overlooking the James River in Richmond, VA (Grave 98, Section 10)
He also has a headstone at Saint Helena's Episcopal Churchyard in Beaufort, SC. His body may have been moved to St. Helena's after the Civil War.
