Early Life and Career
Marshall Jewell was born in Winchester, New Hampshire on October 25, 1825. His father, Pliny Jewell, native of Hartford, was a prominent tanner and currier. At a young age Jewell apprenticed for his father in the tannery business and eventually moved to Boston where he learned the skill of being a currier. In 1847, Marshall returned to his father's tannery business in Hartford where he worked in the currier shop for two years. Having an aptness at finding good business opportunities, Marshall quit the tanning business and learned the skill of being a telegrapher. As a highly skilled telegrapher, Marshall first got a job in Rochester, New York, whereupon he moved to and worked as a telegrapher in Ohio and Columbia, Tennessee.
