Roberts H. Jernigan was born in Kobe, Japan about 1890 while his father, Thomas R. Jernigan, was serving there as US consul (1885-1889) under the first administration of Grover Cleveland. Roberts' father had served in the 15th North Carolina Cavalry in the US Civil War, studied law, and become active in Hertford County, North Carolina politics. In Cleveland's second term, Roberts' father served as US consul general to Shanghai, China (1893-1897).

Roberts married before World War I and built the Jernigan House for his young family a few years later. His son, Roberts H. Jernigan, Jr., like Roberts' father, worked for a time in Beijing. In the early days of World War II, Roberts Jr was captured by the Japanese and imprisoned for nearly two years, then served as an ensign in the US Navy through the end of the war. Roberts Jr subsequently served as a member of the North Carolina House of Representatives for 18 years.
