Carpinus caroliniana is American hornbeam (bluebeech, water beech) and Ostrya virginiana is Eastern hophornbeam and had the common name "ironwood" often applied to this species. The Textbook of Dendrology by Harlow and Harrar Fifth Edition published by McGraw-Hill. This was the info they were pushing over thirty years ago when I studied forestry. The two trees look very different in the forest.
