It appears, based on matching names (assuming this is an african american family as well) that Jarvis was actually born about 1905 instead of about 1911.

In the 1910 census District 81, Oconeechee, Northhampton, North Carolina there is the following family (race of all is black)...

Name: Jarvis L Green
Age in 1910: 5
Estimated birth year: abt 1905
Birthplace: North Carolina
Relation to Head of House: Son
Father's name: Richard
Father's Birth Place: Virginia
Mother's name: Edith
Mother's Birth Place: North Carolina
Home in 1910: Oconeechee, Northampton, North Carolina
Marital Status: Single
Race: Black
Gender: Male
Household Members: Name Age
Richard Green 47
Edith Green 46
Clavland Green 21
Uless Green 16
Carnealows Green 14
Jerry Green 13
Rufus Green 11
Lillian Green 8
Edward L Green 7
Jarvis L Green 5

Additional information from the actual census page...

The resided on a farm identified as "home farm".

All children (and wife Edith) born in North Carolina. Both of Edith's parents born in North Carolina. Both of Robert's parents born in Virginia as was Robert.

Note that none knew how to read and write so the spelling of children's names could vary...for example, Clavland could be Cleveland, Uless could be Ulysses, etc.

Hope this helps.

Odd spellings on the census are nothing new. I have found my Pack relations as Park, Puck, Pock and Pork.

This looks like Jarvis' family in 1920, but he isn't there:

I can't find Richard in the 1870; there are too many.

I can't find Syrine in any census with last name Boyd.

where were u from or where did they reside

My Greene line is from the area of Allegheney County, NC and Grayson County, Virginia, and maybe some surrounding counties around those. I do not recognize the names you listed as being a part of my line any where, but they could be distantly related.
