This is a long shot........but maybe his name was spelled wrong on the census. I found this one that could be a possibility if the name was spelled wrong, but you did not include who any of his siblings may be, so I cannot rule this possibility out. Here in 1880 there is a Lavaries G. Shields, age 9. Right age. When I looked at the original, Lavaries could have been some spelling of Louis or Lewis that ancestry transcribed wrong.

Still looking in 1880...
In 1920, they lived in Hardy Station, Grenada, Mississippi
transcribed as Green and Marthia Shilds
In 1900, they lived in Big Creek, Marion, Arkansas
transcribed as L G and Martha Skidds

You should be on a genealogy site for a search like this. I know they are costly, but you can also exchange email with others, which is how my niece found my ex-husband and my daughter can now have a relationship with him and with a sister she knew nothing about.

best of luck!
