Because Patton and his wife came from wealthy families he was often given a hard time because other superiors did not live as good as he did. Many where envious of his lifestyle which he didn't flaunt but did not ignore. He drove nice cars, owned horses, lived off base in nice houses, owned a yacht.

I assume you are asking about General George S. Patton, Jr. He probably was not a Freemason since the there is no evidence (published records, Lodge name, etc.) that indicate he was. The records of the Grand Lodge of New York do list a George S. Patton (not Jr.) as Worshipful Master of Cambridge Lodge 662 on June 20, 1904, but that is not the same man. At that time, George S. Patton, Jr. (later to be General Patton) was 19 years old (too young to be a Mason in NY in 1904). He had just completed his education at the Virginia Military Academy and was starting at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point. In short, it can not possibly be the same person.
