Early life and ancestry
Joseph Walter Jackson was born in Fountain Hill, Arkansas, to Crystal Lee (née King); May 1907-November 4, 1992; October 28, 1993) and Samuel Joseph Jackson (April 4, 1893 – October 31, 1993). His father was a teacher. His year of birth was 1929, according to the Arkansas Black Hall of Fame and Katherine Jackson's book My Family, The Jacksons. He was the eldest of five children. His great-grandfather, July "Jack" Gale, was a US Army scout; he also claimed to be an Indigenous American medicine man.
Jackson recalled that his father was domineering and strict, and he wrote himself in his book The Jacksons as a "lonely boy with only few relatives." After his parents divorced when he was twelve, his father, two brothers, and sister moved to East Chicago, Indiana, just south of Chicago, Indiana, although his father and his grandfather migrated with his father to Oakland, California. When he was 18, his father remarried and moved to East Chicago to live with his mother, two brothers, and sister. He started working in East Chicago with Inland Steel Company, but did not complete high school. While living in East Chicago, he began to dream of being a boxer and found success with the Golden Gloves program. When he was preparing for a career in boxing, he encountered Katherine Scruse, a 17-year-old girl who lived in East Chicago and attended Washington High School. Joe was married to another woman, but he was divorced in less than a year before starting to date Katherine.
Joseph and Katherine were married on November 5, 1949, and they purchased a tiny two-bedroom home on 2300 Jackson Street near East Chicago in Gary, Indiana, in January 1950. Maube Reillette "Rebbie" Jackson, the Jackson family's first child, was born four months later in the Jackson house on May 29, 1950. Jackson, who is now employed at Inland Steel, left his aspirations of becoming a full-time crane operator in order to help his family. He later worked at American Foundries in East Chicago in a part-time role. In the meanwhile, his wife Katherine looked after their growing family. She began working part-time at Sears in Gary in the late 1950s. Joseph and Katherine continued to have ten children after their son Brandon Jackson (Marlon's twin) died right after being born.
Jackson briefly performed with his younger brother Luther Jackson in their own blues band The Falcons, beginning in the 1950s, playing guitar. Despite their best efforts, the Falcons did not get a recording contract and eventually broke up after one of their members, Thornton "Pookie" Hudson, formed his own band in 1952. The Spaniels, a doo-wop band, later became a hit doo-wop band.
