I viewed the Estate Records for Lincoln Co., NC this week (at my local FHC) - the only Gheen was that of Warren Gheen. Here are the notes I typed up.
From the Estate Records of Lincoln Co., NC - From the file of Warren Gheen, 1887 (only one Gheen file)
30 Mar 1883 - Exec of estate listed as Peter Beal

Gheen, Levi Gheen, P.S. Beal & wife Margaret - Signed James T. Gheen, Levi Gheen & Emmer Gheen {This would be after Sarah's death in Mar 1884 - Emmer would be Levi's wife Emma?}
24 Aug 1901 - Lincoln Co., NC - Levi Gheen, admin de bonis non cum testamento annexo, of Warren Gheen dec'd files his final return - Peter Beal, the dec'd exec., during his lifetime and admin. administered upon all the personal property of the dec'd, leaving unadministered the real estate - That the heirs & legatees and distributees of the estate of Warren Gheen dec'd are all living and of full age, residing in the county of Lincoln, and town of Lincolnton, NC - That the house & lot in Lincolnton mentioned in the said will, to be sold by the exec after the death of the widow, which occured 31 May (? Mar?) 1884, was bargained & sold to Levi Baker at the sume of $400 with the consent, approval and sanction of Levi Gheen, James Gheen & Margaret L. Beal - That the plantation in Rowan County was sold to Margaret L. Beal at the sum of $600 with the consent, approval and sanction of Levi Gheen, James Gheen & Margaret L. Beal - The estate to be divided in to thirds, with Levi Gheen, James T. Gheen, & Margaret L. Beal each receiving a share.
I have seven children for Warren, but it looks like only three actually lived up to 1901. His son James was a James T. Gheen also.
