Probably the most famous Blount county smith would be Joseph Bogle.  You can find a picture of one of his guns at http://www.americanhistoricservices.com/html/bogle.html
His guns have a VA look to them.  I'd venture to guess other Blount county gunsmith made guns similar to other E. TN guns though.

Past the website, the best source of information will come from Jerry Nobles books.  He has 4 of them for sale.  I couldn't tell you which is best.  He could if you ask him.  I don't have his number handy but I'm sure someone else will post that.
