Patrick Floyd Garrett, better known as Pat Garrett, was a Southerner by birth.

He was born in Chambers County, Alabama, June 5, 1850.

In 1856, his parents moved to Claiborne Parish, Louisiana, where his father was a large landowner, and of course at that time and place, a slave owner, and among the bitter opponents of the new regime which followed the Civil War.

When young Garrett's father died, the large estates dwindled under bad management, and when within a short time the mother followed her husband to the grave, the family resources, affected by the war, became involved, although the two Garrett plantations embraced nearly 3,000 acres of rich Louisiana soil.
