Cacatch:
I'll throw a half-educated guess out and then see if I'm right or not...I'd say they're both rock elm, and that the "heart" on the one is not really heartwood, but dutch elm disease, which starts in the core like that.

Let's see what Hillbilly and the other guys say.  ;)

Hillbilly:
Shannon, I'm not really familiar with rock elm (we don't have it here,) but I'd say that your stuff looks identical to winged elm, especially the first one. The second one I'm not as sure about. The USDA map has rock elm in KY mainly clustered in the north-central part of the state, but it also shows it growing in a couple TN counties along the KY border.

FlintWalker:
Steve, I live about 10 miles north of the Tn state line.  So it could be rock elm.  I'm starting to think it's all wingd elm though.  These trees are absolutly everywhere around here and I just don't think rock elm is that common.    I'd rather it be winged anyway.

Hillbilly:
Winged elm is one of the densest of the elms. Here's the range maps for rock elm:
