Mountains of the Eastern US With 3,000 Feet Of Prominence

Given the state and the topographic prominence, list the mountains in the eastern US with more than 3,000 feet, or 914 meters, of topographic prominence
Topographic prominence is not elevation, it is a measurement of the minimum elevation you must drop off a summit before climbing to a higher mountain. A nearly flat rise at high elevation would have minimal prominence, while a rugged low elevation point with few connecting ridgelines would have a higher prominence
If a summit is in multiple states, all states are listed. If part of the flank of the mountain is in another state, only the state where the peak is located is listed
Puerto Rico is not included in this list. One peak in Puerto Rico, Cerro de Punta, would classify

The second note here is to deal with Huckleberry Knob, which sits 2 miles from the Tennessee/North Carolina border. The summit is in North Carolina, so it is listed there.

If I extended this quiz to include eastern Canada as well, Quebec would add just one mountain, Mount Jacques Cartier in the Chicchocs, while Labrador would double the length of this quiz with mountains in the Torngats, several of which are unnamed. Probably hundreds of peaks in Nunavut.
