Author: Carroll County, Ohio Biography

Jesse Marshall one of the well known rising young business men of Carrollton, 
Carroll County, was born in washington Township, Carroll Co.,Ohio, October 14, 
1853, and is descended of German ancestry who came from the Fatherland to this 
country at a very early day. Joshus Marshall, son of Aaron Marshall, of 
Virginia, and the paternal grandfather of our subject, was a native Hancock of 
Brooke County, Virginia(now West virginia), whence he moved to Carroll County, 
Ohio, where he was a pioneer farmer. He was married to Mary Roudebush, who had 
come from the East of the Alleghanies early in life, and by her had twelve 
children- six sons and six daughters. Joshua Marshall died in Washington 
Township , Carroll County in 1875, aged eighty years; his widow is yet living 
in that township. Their son Eli, the father of Jesse, was born in Washington 
Township, Carroll County, and was brought up to farm life, his education being 
limited to the common schools of his times. He was united in marriage with 
Sarah Jane, daughter of Jesse Roudebush, of the same township, and by her had 
three children, ; Jesse; Jevi; in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, a minister of the 
Disciples Church, and Annie M. wife of James N. Lawrence, on the home place. 
After their marriage Mr. & Mrs. Eli Marshall removed to the farm where the 
father died July 19, 1883, at the age of fifty-three years, after a lingering 
illness; the mother is still living on the home place.
Jesse Marshall, the subject proper of these lines, in early boyhood had all 
the experiences of the average farmer's son. He had a good, substantial 
education at the common schools of the home district, from which he developed 
from one taught into one teaching, for some fifteen winters following that 
profession in Carroll County, the summers being occupied in the dutied of the 
farm. Thus he continued until 1889, in which year he moved into Carrollton, 
where he established his present produce business, in which he has been 
eminently successful. In 1878 Mr. Marshall married Miss Kittie, daughter of 
Christian Dennis, of Carroll County, and to this union has been born one 
child, Elmer Garfield, at home with his parents, a sufferer from spinal 
Meningitis, being left a cripple for life. The life of Mr. Marshall has been 
an active one, and in his farming, school teaching and his present business, 
that of dealer in general produce-grain, flour, lime, etc.- he has contributed 
not a little to the general advancement adn prosperity of his county. He and 
his wife are members of the Disciples or Christian Church of Mt. Olivet, 
Washington Township, Carroll County, and in politics he is a Republican.
