No, Jacob Marley was Scrooge's coworker but died exactly seven years before visiting Scrooge on Christmas Eve. While there, he warned Scrooge about his chains, how they are made of greed, and that they bound you from leaving Earth and into heaven. He aso warned Scrooge that he will be haunted by three spirits. The Spirit if Christmas Past, Present, and Yet To Come

No, Jacob Marley was not the first spirit in "A Christmas Carol." The first spirit that visits Ebenezer Scrooge is the Ghost of Christmas Past. Jacob Marley, the ghost of Scrooge's former business partner, appears later in the story to warn Scrooge about his impending fate if he does not change his ways.
