Marshall J. Williams was born on a farm in Fayette County, Ohio, and educated at the common schools of Washington Court House, Ohio, and for two years at Ohio Wesleyan University. In 1855 he began study of law, was admitted to the bar in 1857, and opened an office in Washington Court House. In 1859 he was elected Prosecuting Attorney of Fayette County, and served two terms.[1]

Williams was elected in 1869 and again in 1871 to represent Fayette County in the Ohio House of Representatives.[2]

In 1884, Williams was chosen Judge of the Circuit Court for the Second State Circuit. In 1886, he was nominated by the Republicans for Supreme Court Judge, and defeated incumbent Democrat Martin Dewey Follett.
