The last column is fraction of white ancestry, and the 3 previous columns indicate ethnicity of the named person, father, and mother respectively. So Jesse and his mother were Cherokees, and his father was white. Jesse is a preacher.

TRIBAL CENSUS:

The ages in the following census card compared with the birthdates provided by the US census of 1900 indicate that it was prepared about 1900 or 1901. It is card number 2955. The introduction of "Index to the Cherokee Rolls" (Valorie Millican, 2002) states that the "Cherokee by Blood ages were calculated to September 1, 1902.", but here that does not seem to be the case.
