I'm in a devilish one,
I'm in heaven's son;
I'm in landowners' class,
I'm in rule not by lass;
I'm in wealth on top,
I'm in compound from crop;
I'm in a seeker's tool,
I'm in a ruler cruel
What am I?

The words:
I'm in a devilish one,-> ARCHFIEND
I'm in heaven's son;-> STARCHILD (told by OP in chat; I had ARCHANGEL originally)
I'm in landowners' class,-> SQUIREARCHY
I'm in rule not by lass;-> PATRIARCHY
I'm in wealth on top,-> OLIGARCHY?
I'm in a gum drop;-> STARCH
I'm in a seeker's tool,-> SEARCHLIGHT
I'm in a ruler cruel-> AUTARCH
leading to the answer
ARCH.
Title:
each word connects to the answer. An ARCH-something might be the most; an ARCHAEO-something might be ancient; and an ARCH is a member? (Again, OP helped in chat with this.)
