Found Levi C Hayes will on familysearch: https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3QSQ-G9C6-Y3W8?i=2&cc=1911121

The will was proved 6 Dec 1888, so assume Levi died around then.  It looks what he had was left to all the family members (Emily not mentioned though).

Picked up a little from the Robesonian paper.  There were two entries 9th March 1916 and 23 March 1916.  Picking through it looks like the matter was about 152.7 acres formally owned by Levi C Hayes and which now belong to the plaintiffs (General English Morgan and his wife Mettie).

Need to have a subscription to see the actual paper. 

Seems a bit strange a court case after 28 years?
