Results from a records search at FamilySearch using parameters (Name: Jess* Robarts, Event: Birth, Place: Florida, Birth Range: 1905-1910, Residence Place: Hillsborough, Florida) show three strong matches:

Jessie Emaline Roberts, born 22 October 1908 in Plant City, Hillsborough, Florida, parents James Sheppard Roberts and Barbara Agnes Bauknight[9] - Wrong birth location

Jessie E Roberts, born 1910 in Florida, parents James S Roberts and Ada M Roberts[10] Family names to not correlate with known facts. No indication the family was in Largo, Pinellas County, Florida, during the target period.[11][12]

Jessee Roberts, born 1906 in Florida, parents Frank S Roberts and Mary J Roberts[13]

Frank Robarts Family on the 1910 and 1920 censuses[13][14]

Lucile Roberts Daughter F 8 Florida
Agnes Roberts Daughter F 6 Florida

Frank S and Mary J Robarts were in Largo on 1910 and 1920 censuses. They had a daughter named Jessie of the correct age to have been born in 1906. The newspaper blurb about Jessie's birthday dinner was analyzed via the FAN Club principle to further correlate the conclusion that Jessie Fae Robarts' parents' names were Frank S and Mary J Robarts.
