The name Carthan is rare and is used for both males and females. Based on a careful study of William's census record I believe that Carthan was likely female and the widow of one of William's two unknown sons and the mother of George Gassett, born about 1860, and Beulah Gassett, born about 1862, who were in Francis Marion Gassett's household in 1870. In any case, George and Beulah Gassett were too old to have been Marion's children and were likely the orphans in question.

Susie Elizabeth Cooper Butler Herald Vol. 12 #3 November 22, 1887(from the Taylor Tracer, Oct. 2003) In Memoriam Died Nov. 13th, 1887, Mr. John S. Hill, youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. Elbert Hill, aged 18 years. He was just entering young manhood with his hopes and promises luring him onward. He lived but a few years but his life was a success. You only had to know him to love him. He was possessed of those traits of character which are most to be admired. The writer knew him only a little while but long enough to have his affections fixed. He was generous to all, kind and obliging, faithful in all duties imposed upon him; neither murmuring nor complaining he acted promptly and cheerfully in all the trials of life, never trying to shun any burden no matter how heavy. As a pupil in school he was always in his place promptly. Attentive and studious, never disobeying by word or action any rule of school. As a companion he was beloved by all of his associates, even willing to suffer himself for the welfare and pleasure of his companions. As a son and brother he was ever ready to oblige a father or cherish and comfort a mother, sister of brother. Whether at home or abroad, in the schoolroom or the playground, he was always on the side of right. He died as he had lived and left an aching void the world can never fill. But we don not morn as those who have no comfort. We trust from the smiles that played on his brow as his spirit was departing, that angel bands were in readiness to waft his spirit home where it will dwell with its Maker in that world where there is no parting and death never comes. Father. mother, brothers and loved ones cease your greiving and look forward to the time when you will be united on the heavenly shore and join your voices with those of your loved ones gone before, singing songs of praise in that home where there is no sorrow, parting or death. A Friend, Tazewell, Ga., Nov. 14th, 1887. Excerpted from the Ellaville Sun. September 2, 1897 Thursday - Mr. Elbert Hill last week placed tomb stones over the graves of his children in the family burial ground at Bethel. They were purchased of Mr. Ed Miller, Americus. Tombstone states "at age 22 yrs., 10 mos., 12 days" Excerpted from: Schley County Enterprise, Vol. III, No. 6 Thursday, November 3, 1887 Miss Katie E. Hill, only daughter of Elbert and C.E. Hill, of Schley county, died of thyphoid fever on October 30th. Many relatives and friends were present to witness her lamented death. Katie was loved and esteemed for her kindness; affectionate to her parents, kind and loving to her brothers and charitable to everyonr she met. She survived her elder sister one year and 18 days, leaving her father, mother and three brothers. Being a member of the Methodist Church, she led a christian life, crowned with virtue and truth, while her death has cast a cloud of sadness over the whole community, we feel that he who gave has the right to take away, and while we sympathize with the bereaved family we feel sure that she has received a rich inheritance beyond the skies. Katie, we will ever miss thee, In our pilgrimage here below, But we trust again to meet you On that fair eternal shore. ============ Sources: Cemetery Surveys: 1980 Mrs. C.G.
