Marvel was the first child of Leonard Hise Jr and wife Isabella (Helton). His father was a farmer.

Marvel married nineteen-year-old Mary Bradshaw in Burke County late in 1835 or early 1836. The Burke County marriage records for this period were burned by a Union Army raiding party in 1863.

Their first child, Albert, was born on 4 Nov 1836. During the following 24 years they produced a family of nine sons and four daughters. One son died in early childhood and one was captured by the Union Army at the Cumberland Gap and died in captivity at Camp Douglas, Illinois in 1865.

Marvel farmed in a part of Burke County that became Caldwell County in 1841. In 1856 the family moved to a farm in the Crabtree township of Haywood County where he apparently remained until the end of the Civil War. Thereafter he took up with a certain Elizabeth Richards who was 27 years his junior and they settled near Witts Foundry in Jefferson County, Tennessee. They had a son, Lewis and daughter, Nancy by 1870. Both of these children grew to adulthood and had families of their own. His father's June 1871 probate mentions Marvel living in Tennessee at that time. In 1873 his wife Mary sued him for divorce and the court published a summons for him in The Carolina Watchman newspaper in September of that year. The 1878 probate of his sister Mary indicates he was then no longer living.
