HURST BAILEY POWERS

Looking for relatives. Would like to share information.
One set of my great-grandparents were Elijah HURST and Mary Elizabeth BAILEY. They were married and had at least some of their eight children in New Market, Buchanan County, Missouri, just across the river from Atchison County, Kansas. Later they moved to Atchison County where they lived until they died. I am not sure where they lived in Atchison County -- it may have been close to Potter as they are buried in Fairview Cemetery there southwest of Potter. I am their son, Jesse Claybourne HURST's, granddaughter and would like to get in touch with anyone knowing more about these families. Another set of my great-grandparents were William Bethel POWERS and Nancy Jane MARTIN. I know the descent of their union and Nancy's family history fairly well, but don't know back past William's father Henry F. POWERS. William and Nancy moved to Mount Pleasant, Kansas in Atchison County to raise their family. I am their daughter Louella POWERS HURST's (married Jesse Claybourne HURST above), granddaughter. They are buried in the Mount Pleasant Cemetery. I would like to get in touch with anyone knowing more about the POWERS line. Thanks.
