Marsden prepared for College at Oberlin Prep entering as a freshman in 1836. He graduated from New York University. After graduating, he studied at Heidelberg University and at the University of Berlin in Germany.
He received both his Master's and Doctorate from the University of Berlin in Berlin, Germany where he became a fine German scholar, and developed his brilliant talents. He was also the champion gymnast of his class.
Returning from Europe to New York after several years spent abroad, he entered the office of Charles O'Conor, the distinguished lawyer who ran for president in 1872, studying law with him for a year and afterwords became his junior partner.
At the outbreak of the Civil War, he volunteered his services, enlisting in the 71st New York Regiment and was engaged in the occupation of Alexandria, Virginia and in the first Battle of Bull Run.
At the expiration of his term of service he re-enlisted in the 131st Regiment, New York Infantry, being commissioned as a Captain and detailed to duty on the staff of the commanding officers, Colonel Charles S. Turnbull and later General Nicholas Wyckoff Day. He died at Port Hudson in Terrabonne Parish, Louisiana while serving in the Civil War.
His brother, Curtis Burritt Raymond, wrote of him: "A braver, larger, more sympathetic heart never beat in a Patriot's breast. His nature was noble to entire self-sacrifice, and his mind cultivated with extensive learning."
During the divorce trial of Catherine N. Forrest vs. Edwin Forrest, Marsden was living on Lexington Avenue in New York and was a lawyer and a merchant. He owned the firm Raymond and Fullerton on Cliff St., New York.
He was described in a New York Times article during the trial as a bewhiskered Whig merchant and lawyer and subsequently described as "inclined to fashionable dandyism" (Beau Brummell).
