Jesse was the Son of John Elbert Marshall and Calista Phillips. He was the full Brother of Dalia M. Marshall and Calla Hugh Marshall.

Jesse died at the age of twenty-nine (29) from tuberculosis at the Southwestern State Hospital and it is noted on his Death Certificate that he had suffered from "dementia praecox" for approximately six years before his death.

"Dementia praecox is a progressive mental disorder that affects a person's cognitive abilities. It can cause changes in attention, reasoning, and personality, and sometimes lead to bizarre delusions and hallucinations. The name of the disease means premature dementia, which references its tendency to affect much younger people than those who usually develop dementia symptoms. Most individuals who suffer from the disorder are teenagers or young adults. Dementia praecox was a common diagnosis in the past, but many professionals today prefer the term schizophrenia."
