Meet the generation of Prince. (In Photos: Prince Albert, Michael and Katherine) The First Prince - Michael's great great grand father Prince Screws was born in 1828, who was an Alabama cotton-plantation slave who became a tenant farmer after the Civil War. Prince married Mary Etta (Native American) and have 6 children Molly, Dennis John, Clara, Matty, Fanny and Prince Jr. Prince Screws Jr. - Michael's Great Grand Father Prince Screws Jr. was the son of Prince and Mary, born on November 1, 1878 in Russell County Alabama. Prince married Julia Belle Jordan in 1897. Prince Jr. was also a cotton farmer who bought a small farm in Alabama. They have 5 children Katie, Hattie, Willie Ann, Richard, and Prince Albert Screws. Prince Albert Screws (changed to Scruse) - Michael's grand father Prince Albert was the son of Julia Belle and Prince Screws Jr., he was born in Russell, Alabama on Oct. 16, 1907. He is a railroad worker. He and his wife Martha "Mattie" moved to Gary Indiana in 1934 with their two daughters Hattie and Katie. The moved in Gary also was the time when the family's surname "Screws" was changed to "Scruse" and also Katie's name was changed to Katherine. Katherine married Joseph Walter Jackson and have 10 children... the eighth - a boy named Michael Joseph (THE KING). Since, Prince Albert would have no sons, There came a disruption with the Generations of Prince. Clearly, Michael named his sons Prince to honor his mother, whom he adored. He perhaps wants to restore the generation of Prince that had been a tradition from his great great ancestors. source: http://www.intelius.com/ http://www.findagrave.com/ gq magazine compiled by: @mjjgirl4ever :)
