Marshall, one of the enterprising merchants of Texas, was born in Chambers county, Alabama, November 8, 1846, a son of Jesse S. and Catherine (Shaw) Marshall, natives of Georgia, who moved to Texas in 1852, and settled in Upshur county. They had a family of ten children: John S., Chesly, Frank M., Matthew C., Edward P., William L., James M.., Mary A., Lucy A. and Martha J. James M.

On his retirement from public office he engaged in the mercantile business with Mr. W. Boyd, Sr., of Gilmer, the firm being Marshall & Boyd. This firm continued four years, when Mr. Boyd bought the interest of Mr. Marshall, and Mr. Marshall engaged in the same business with Mr. Futrell, the firm being Marshall & Futrell. They carry a full line of dry goods, groceries, hardware, etc., having one of the most complete stocks of goods in the town, and by fair dealing and reasonable prices have built up a good trade.
