I see Silver (or maybe Red) maple, Cherry (maybe an edible cherry), and River Birch.The River Birch (right) seems like a sure bet. THe maple (left) is a pretty sure thing too, and the difference between Red and Silver maples, from a firewood perspective, is not important. The middle one looks to me like cherry, not Black Cherry but rather an edible cherry. Edible cherry commonly grows in the wild, especially near homes and farms where cherries have been planted and birds have spread the seeds. The middle one could also be Black Birch in which case you should smell a distinct wintergreen aroma from the bark.
The new pics look Red Cedar, or maybe the trunk of an Arbor Vitae. The wood should have a strong cedar smell to it and should be reddish or purplish if it is Red Cedar. In general you'l get more attention to your new pics if you make a new post. I think a lot of guys read a post, maybe comment, then don't read it again.
