First - the cemeteries of Harrison township are:
E.R. Beard Farm - Charles Bond Farm - Nutter - Railsback and Witt. Railsback is sometimes known as the Lybrook cemetery, but it is Railsback.
There are no Dorsey's listed as being buried in Railsback. In fact according to the DAR cemetery book, there are no Dorsey's in any cemetery in Union County. This includes West Point.
Second - Harrison Twp. in Fayette County is a long ways away from Harrison Twp. Union County. You may want to stick with Fayette.

Message Board Post:
George Dorsey died on the 20th of April 1918 in the Warren City Hospital. Halloway's Undertaker prepared the body.Services held at Dorsey's home on North Rd. (from Lois J.Bates) I think burial may have been in Lybrook Cemetery in Harrison Township in Union co. Indiana. I have a grandparent named George Dorsey who was listed in the census of 1860 for Fayette Co. Harrison Twp. Harrisburg Post Office. He is listed as being about 26 years old and living on the farm of a John Caldwell. at that time. I am wondering if this could possi ble be the same man. If anyone out there could help me I would sure apprec iate their help or suggestions. I would be interested in any History on the name "Dorsey" also "Certain" or "Sertain". from that area. I hope someone can give me information or suggestions.
Thanks so much. Sally Ferguson sdonferg(a)yahoo.com

I could not find your John Beard in the 1870 census. The Beard Family, that we are mostly familier with, is an old established family in the county. They were Quaker and lived in the "Salem" community.
The only John - Catherine I could locate was John and Catherine (DuBois) Beard. The former was born in North Carolina dnd was a pioneer of Indiana.
What was the census page so I can look at it myself?
