Joan,
I've been surprised at the lack of information on these Davenports!!Usually Rootsweb or Familysearch.org or Ancestry will at least have an ancestor listed with parents and a few children.You're right about the lack of Jackson Co. documents -- burned courthouses always make researching so hard.
On the Jackson County, TN Genweb site, I noticed some loose Chancery Court papers that mention Joseph (I think mine, for the most part) and many surnames that are familiar to the Davenports.A couple of the Joseph entries are related to Joseph b 1819 (mine) because of the other Davenports listed with him -- some -- I'm not so sure.They may be your Joseph's.
I agree with you, the Sloans (and in my case the Huffines also) are little wisps that keep dancing around, but I can't nail them down.Joseph's great grandson, Elias J., married a Sloan, but that's the only one I know for sure.
I will certainly keep you in mind if I dig up anything new.
Sharon
