If I was to split up some land and by doing so, created landlocked parcels - then yes, I could be held liable later to provide easements to landowners if they were the same ones that actually bought from me. If the property had been resold since, no I'm not liable. And, if the other parcels were not landlocked at the time I made the split, I'm still not liable, even if now they are landlocked.
I realize things differ in different states, but I've yet to see any that are written simply and/or apply in all cases. Especially adverse use or easement by prescription laws. That especially applies to people who try to claim "implied easement" rights just because they've been crossing someone else's land for years. Usually, there is much more needed to gain such an easement.
It is very complicated/complex and the "where", is everything. Here, if a piece is severed from another parcel, then the responsibility for access lies with the parcel it was severed from.
How many times it has changed hands, how many other ways it may have been accessed in the past is not material. This prevents the existence of 'land locked' parcels. When someone here speaks of a 'land locked' piece of land, it is just that they have not paid enough lawyers to gain access. Some sit this way for many years, because it may not be reasonable to effectively pay, counting legal fees, $250,000 dollars an acre for rural land that can be bought next door for $2,000 an acre.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
