That's good Christine.
I was having trouble reconciling the bark between the photos of the reference material and your photos but bark is relative - very much so - to the age of the tree excepting when certain species have very distinctive bark. Your tree seems to be quite old. I kept searching & found this which matches your bark.

And along my way I ran across some links that may help you as far as ID'ing your other oaks:

There are some links to other oaks in the middle of this page

I am a strong believer in the simple fact is that what matters in this life is how we treat others. I think that's what living is all about. Not what I've done in my life but how I've treated others. ~~ Sharon Brown
