James, Priscilla and Charles Baker

http://www.cousinconnect.com/d/a/70998 - I'm researching James Collins b.abt. 1791 in NC, m.prior to 12-13-1809 Priscilla Baker, daughter of Charles Baker and Priscilla Perry, probably in Warren or Wilkes Co., GA. They were living in Talbot Co., GA from late 1820's to early 1850's when they moved to Chattahoochee Co., GA. The last record I have is there in 1857. Does anyone have records of him or suggestions. His father may have been Charles Collins from VA or Andrew Collins. James and Priscilla had 9 children.
