George Smith Patton, Jr., was born on November 11, 1885, in San Gabriel, California, to George Smith Patton Sr. and his wife Ruth Wilson. Patton had a younger sister, Anne. The family was of Irish, ScotsIrish, English, and Welsh ancestry. His great grandmother came from an aristocratic Welsh family, descended from many Welsh lords of Glamorgan, which had an extensive military background. Pattons ancestry was far more than genealogy to him. It included his heroes and role models he communed with them in times of crisis, emulated them, and sensed that they beckoned him to his destiny. His imagination blended past and present he believed he had former lives as a soldier and took pride in deep mystical ties with his warrior ancestors.
