They owned mineral rights in Lycoming county back in '30's (+or-), our camp bought them from Proctor when they were having tax trouble back in the '30's (+or -)...Now they think its still theirs. They went to court with other land owners around us and Proctor lost. I think it's wrong for them to scare land owners like that. The drilling company is also backing us. Just wondering if anyone else knew anything like this.

Amazing. They don't have enough money, they have to go after landowners. I hope their lawsuit gets tossed out quickly. Good luck to you.

There are towns, townships named Proctor and Gamble, no coincidence. If you research I think you will find that long, long ago, predecessors to P&G owned or retained mineral rights in many Lycoming and southern Bradford areas that were owned for lumber. Heirs or P&G itself maybe claiming the mineral rights of those specific areas and think they have title. Hope they are wrong, re Curt's reply, Word I have is details vary  by area. if yours was wash-saled,  you may be OK.    

 

Anyone who has legal title would stand up and claim, no? No fun if you are on the otherside,

but legal and expected, no?

The potential largest losees lie with gascos. Where they may have drilled  wells and produced on land their leases lacked title to. That is "taking", the rightful can demand now owning the well and back production.

Curt, are you sure that it is Proctor & Gamble? The Proctor heirs have oil and gas interests inherited from Thomas Proctor, who excepted and reserved oil and gas rights on many tracts in Central Pennsylvania. They are not "Proctor & Gamble", however. They have a family trust that administers their oil and gas interests.
