Note* Known as "Grandpa Jess", he was married three times. He had 24 children by three wives. He had six children with his first wife. She passed away and Grandpa Jess remarried. He had six more children with his second wife. After his second wife passed away, he remarried for the third time and had 12 children with his third wife. It has been said that out of each marriage, Grandpa Jess fathered a set of twins.

According to Clarence Edward Burgess, he recalls that "Buster" and "Buck" were twins from Grandpa Jess' third marriage. However, it is not clear which of the children are twins.

Clarence Burgess also recalls that Grandpa Jess was a farmer and pretty self-sufficient. He remembers having supper with the family in a large "mess hall" like dining room on the Treadway family farm.

Note* Excerpt From "The History Of Fayette County, West Virginia"

A native son of Fayette County of whom we are justly proud Starling M. N. Marrs, born at Gauley Bridge, January 2, 1862. Educated in public Schools of Fayette and Nicholas counties. Graduating from National Normal University, Lebanon, Ohio, in 1884. Taught three four-month terms of school in Fayette county at $20.00 and $25.00 a month.

Emigrated to Texas in 1891. Has filled many responsible positions in his adopted State of Texas with credit to himself and friends. He is now serving his second term as State Superintendent of Texas. Candidate for third term in 1926.

MARRS, STARLIN MARION NEWBERRY (1862-1932). S. M. N. Marrs, educator, was born on January 2, 1862, in Gauley Bridge, West Virginia, to Francis Marion and Catherine Lloyd (Paddleford) Marrs. He graduated with a B.S. from the National Normal University in Lebanon, Ohio, and moved to Texas in the early 1880s. In 1885, after teaching for several years, Marrs became superintendent of public schools in Stephenville. He subsequently held the same position in Hamilton (1888-90), Cleburne (1890-93), and Terrell (1893-98). He was chief clerk at the Texas State Department of Education in 1898-99 and then superintendent of schools at Terrell again until 1919. He moved to Austin in 1919 as chief supervisor for the state's high schools, and from 1921 to 1923 he served there as first assistant state superintendent. He was then elected state superintendent of public instruction (see TEXAS EDUCATION AGENCY), a post he held from 1923 until his death in 1932. He also served on the state board of examiners from 1905 to 1910.

He was remembered as a champion of rural and financially weak school districts. He argued that the state should appropriate a sum from its general revenues to be used as an equalization fund for financially disadvantaged school districts. He advocated increased professional training of teachers and prompt payment of their salaries. He also supported school consolidation, the strengthening of county school administration, and the provision of transportation to high school for students who otherwise would be unable to attend. He also promoted the mandatory use of English as the basis of instruction in all public and private schools. This, he thought, would "fortify national unity, promote commercial prosperity, and strengthen individual loyalty."

Marrs was a Democrat and a Baptist. He held memberships in the National Council of Education, the National Educational Association, and the Southwest Political Science Association. He was also a life member of the Texas State Teachers Association and served as its president in 1907. He married Annie Ross Heslep of Hawks Nest, West Virginia, on August 1, 1886. They had four children. Annie died in 1904, and Marrs married Ina Caddell of Denton, Texas, on June 9, 1909. Like Marrs, she was involved in education and educational reform. She was president of the Texas Congress of Parent-Teacher Associations from 1920 to 1924 and in 1928 served as president of the national chapter of that organization. She survived Marrs and died in California in 1960. Marrs died of a heart attack at College Station on April 18, 1932, and was buried in the State Cemetery in Austin.
