Pickett County has Koger Mountain, named after Anderson Koger who settled there before the Civil War. Fentress has Skinner Mountain, but I don't know who it was named after. I have heard that the mountain behind my farm was called Albertson Mountain and someone told me another name for it, but have forgot. I know the Albertsons owned the land that I now own and a bunch more.

I think that perhaps Skinner Mountain was named for Reuben Skinner.

Thank you all for the family names of the mountains. That is very interesting. So, if a family owned the land, is that the reason for that part of the mountain receiving it's name? I know of Walker, Alpine, Cub. Some of the names have stayed others have changed. I always wondered why and how they got their names. Here is Wisconsin what I call hills (here they call them mountains or points) are named after Indian Chiefs, tribes or who ever was in the area at the time that lived there and many have sacred burial grounds. It is sad how the state wants to make these areas "productive" for gain, but many have rallied to help protect these precious areas. I won't want a highway through the cemetery my family is buried in. We have lost enough history, and I want my children and on down to know their roots, kin and reason we are where we are today. Again thank you.

Have been following this discussion with interest as I'm still trying to find RIGNEY Mountain which apparently is now called something else. I believe it was in the border area of what was once where the counties of Fentress (TN), Clinton (KY), and Wayne (KY) came together. I am looking for it to give me a place to look for graves of early ancestors, marked or unmarked. Part of the possible land where it could be is now Pickett Co., TN. It was not just mountains that were named for people. Roads, fields, hollows, and creeks, were among the land marks named for our ancestors. Even in recent years the town of Allardt in Fentress County, TN renamed (or named) roads and streets. It is my understanding it was done on a fee basis. Anyone could name a street for themselves or an ancestor for a fee, and on a first come first serve basis. The road where my husband was born and reared is now known by the name of a fairly new resident. In the rural Tennessee county where we live our farm is still known to the older locals as "The Arch Todd Place". We have owned and lived on it for 30 years and Mr. Todd has been dead about 50 years, but the name goes on. It's an interesting subject. I think someone could do a thesis on how places get names and how the names change, or stay the same, over a period of time.
