Mystery Estate Battle Over Williamsport Properties
A major probate dispute erupts in Williamsport Pennsylvania as the estate of Winfield Scott Allen faces a mortgage and claims from Sara Pane born Pangborn and her daughter Louise Terrine. They allege Allen was actually Stephen Pangborn, seeking return of properties bought from the late Allen. The mortgage for twenty thousand dollars is held by James O Clark of Westfield New Jersey against forty central Williamsport properties, with ownership history tied to the Pangborn family and a prior Plainfield life. Legal action and questions of title hinge on the true identity of Allen and the rightful heirs, including the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad as a major stake.
