Yes. When landowners grant an easement they are effectively selling some portion of their ownership rights in that land, so they can't sell the easement. The deed of sale must cite any diminutions of the selling owner's rights in the land being sold, and that includes easements. So, while ownership of the land transfers, ownership of the easement rights remains with the easement owner.
