Crayfishes of Georgia may help you for the Hiawasee one... they have a list by drainage to narrow it down...

Yes, I think they call the area Double-double, as it is near the confluence of big and little Double creeks. Can't help you with the crayfish though. Matt Ashton knows crayfish in this general area pretty well.

I think your KY crayfish is Big Water Crayfish, Cambarus robustus

The last pictures looks similar to pictures I have seen of Falicambarus fodiens. I have caught two males in Wake County that I think are Falicambarus fodiens. The biggest one I had escaped and is most certainly dead now.

Tennessee has over 50 different species of crayfish so I while I think the top craytfish is Cambarus bartonii I'm probably wrong. It does have the Cambarus look to it though.
