The bottom looks slightly like a hackberry, but it could be something else, like a cork elm.

First one looks like some kinda elm. Middle one looks like persimmon or dogwood and not sure about the bottom one. A twig or some leaves would help.

bottom one looks like hackberry.  Leaves would certainly help.  Or you could cut a foot or two of the end of a branch with the leaf scars and buds intact and take it to your local county extension agent.  They could probably key it out for you in a minute or two.

ah, ha. The bottom one could be oak- look at the leaves in the bottom of the photo. I was borm in great barrington mass! leaves, leaf buds and flowers or seeds are a good way to ID. bark is not as good for ID. Even in winter you can find dead leaves (or acorns, etc.. to help I.D. .
And when in doubt- just make a bow!

There is no hackberry in those pics. The top looks like a type of willow to me. I have no clue on the bottom?

Yeah..definetly no hackberry in those pics...2nd to last photo is persimmon...not sure about others...its not walnut either. If you can wait to cut any of those till the saps up,then do,cus it'll be much easier to slip off the bark like a banana peel.

I'd say either a birch or elm on the first tree. Second tree maybe a cottonwood or ash. The last one looked oakish to me.

The first 3 look like hickory or elm. The 4 looks like black gum or maybe persimmon. Not sure about the last one.
