For the third photo--read about the "toothpick" method under the section on flat buttons and for the fifth photo (which looks like gold gilding underneath the grime), read the section on "gold gilded buttons." That one I would guess 1830ish--civilian.

Being able to read the backmark on the one in the third photo will help with an ID of the button. So we need photos of the backs of these we well as the fronts.

The 4th button is definitely US military most likely post Revolution. Is it a one piece? The others are civilian. Nice finds!
