Eve Price
- Born: Abt 1726, Somerset Co., MD
- Marriage (1): Levin Hitch
In Aug 1734, Elgate Hitch was appointed guardian to Rachell Price & Eve Price (both under age 14). (Ibid:181/182). Eve Price married Levin Hitch, son of Solomon Hitch before 1748.
There is a land transaction dated Oct 13 1778 in Somerset County between John Read and Henry Handy where Read sells to Handy land that Crispin Price owned in his lifetime, a 300 acre tract called "Newberry" in "Rockawalkin near Mr. Waggaman's Mill." The record states further that Crispin Price died intestate and left two sons and three daughters. Both sons "died in their minority without issue" and their three sisters, daughters of said Crispin Price inherited "Newberry" which they held undivided until the oldest daughter Rachel Price intermarried with Obediah Read who then bought the other two girls, Anne and Eve, out. At the time, Anne was married to Alexander Thomas Russell and Eve to Levin Hitch. Further, Obediah Read died leaving John Read 2/3rds and his wife Rachel her "thirds." Rachel then married Thomas Stanford and she is "now dead intestate." (SoLR-G:132)
Eve Price was listed as under age 14 when she was assigned Elgate Hitch as guardian in 1734.
Eve married Levin Hitch, son of Solomon Hitch and Rebecca Clarke. (Levin Hitch was born about 1723 in Somerset Co., MD and died after 1790 in Sussex Co., DE.)
