There is a federal BLM site for land patents, and those for SD are also available through some county sites. USGenWeb has some information for South Dakota and its counties.

Crawford remained single and lived to be about 80; he worked as a laborer on the farm of Levi Moore III who was Rachel Moore Sharp's half sister and my great great grandmother. I am very curious about the other children of Rachel and James Sharp especially those who moved to South Dakota. Lovina Sharp Pierce and George Sharp/married to Susannah Peacock and had son Stewart in Iowa and possibly Archie in SD. Still not all that clear to me.
