Whereabouts in Southern Illinois is your land? Ours is in Jefferson County, McClellan Township. Same here… coal and 1 capped well. A landman visited my dad 40+ years ago when they lived on the land, but the rights to the minerals still belonged to the seller’s surviving wife, who then passed away approximately 30 years ago. My dad passed away 20 years ago and my mom lives in Florida. I don’t know if a landman could even find my mom if they wanted to.
