All the US "R" buttons in the book have two Rs on them. I am thinking those may be British. But let the experts chime in cause I am just guessing.

The one with the script GR is similar to the one in the link here (which also has some good links for your other buttons, and future button finds there in England); http://www.treasurenet.com/forums/what/220586-convex-one-piece-button-crown-script-gr.html

I'm reasonably certain that all three are British Army buttons, dating from the late-1700s to early-1800s.

The one with a British royal crown above Old English "manuscript" letters GR encircled by a wreath is definitely a British Army Royal Engineers button.

The same emblem but without the wreath appears to be a "generic" British Army button. Its back indicates it dates from the early-1800s.

Manuscript letters can be very difficult to correctly decipher -- and even tougher when they are on corroded dug buttons. The button you've labeled #6 imight be upside-down in the photo. It appears to have a manuscript letter W or M (depending on the button's orientation) along with another letter. I cannot find a match for it among the hundreds of British Army buttons shown here: Militarynamedregs

I suggest you send the photos of button #6 to the folks at that website, for ID assistance.
