Do you know of Cog Hill ???

This page is an orphan - a placeholder until we can discover more about Cog Hill. When we encounter a name that is new to us, we add it to our Gazetteer with the hope that we'll discover more information in the future. Such is the case with Cog Hill.<1>

Our sources for Cog Hill (see Mentions and References below) indicate that it was a community with a post office by the same name. Unfortunately our sources aren't clear about the location of Cog Hill other than they indicate that Cog Hill would be found somewhere in McMinn County, Tennessee.
