In the Mar Court of 1733/4, Elgate Hitch, "Planter" was chosen as guardian by Alexander Price. Elgate Hitch, Joseph Wailes, and William Langsdale put up £50, £25 & £25 respectively. James Smith was mentioned as Alexander Price's father-in-Law. (SoJ-1733/35:111). In Nov 1736, Solomon Hitch was a "guardian to Solomon Price whose brother Alexander Price chose Elgate Heatch as guardian " and Alexander is now dead. This court ruling transferred the estate of Alexander to Solomon Price under guardianship of Elgate Hitch. (SoJ-1735/37:264).
