If you think you're confused, you should see me sitting here laughing and trying to sort your line. So let's take this in baby steps. Names, dates (or approximate dates) and locations are rule of thumb for queries. Next, you don't need to add how each one is related to you in the middle of the names etc. For example "JB married grandmother" is confusing to those who are not familiar with your family. You should state JB married and use her name. And, for locations, name of state and name of county is good. If you only know the town here is site to locate counties. Some times there is more then one town with same name and you will probably be familiar enough with the geography to know which county would be the correct one -- http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/UAC.2ACI/15766.1.1
Be prepared for different spellings of your family name on various records, and different middle initials is not unusual, either.
If I have it straight William and Laura are the earliest Pritchetts you have. If so, do you have any dates (or approximate dates) on when and where they were born, married or died? If not then date of birth of child/children. Keep it simple, leave out the clutter, name their children, not my grandfather was, and his sister was.... Just list them as children of William and Laura. For Jacob you could list him as Jacob/Jake, no aka Uncle Jake. This begins to build a family group.
You mention some censuses, which years and where?
Happy Hunting (^_^)
