Are you sure about that regarding Patton’s family? I know he was from a Virginia family, but he was born San Gabriel and grew up in the Pasadena area. I read a good biography of him about five years ago and I don’t recall anything about his family being in what is now Orange County.
You are correct. He was raised in and near San Gabriel.
The Patton family was up in San Gabriel/San Marino, east of Pasadena. LA County. Orange County was spun off of LA County after Patton was born, but all the same the Patton homestead remains in LA.
Patton’s mother was from a very prominent Los Angeles family. Her mother was a Yorba. Her father was the 2nd mayor of Los Angeles, and Mount Wilson is named for him.
Patton grew up on the knee of John S Mosby of CSA cavalry fame
