Heirs of Former Slave Form Limited Liability Corporation to Keep Land in South Carolina


Matthew Jones paid $225 for this parcel a pittance now, but a fortune for a former slave in the 1880s. And through the years, through the generations, the land only grew in value, until Jones' descendants were sitting on a gold mine.

The Hilton Head property, if sold outright, could fetch $4.5 million.
