I can see bristles at the tips of the leaf lobes which would put them in the red oak group. Red oaks are notoriously difficult to identify by the leaves alone, especially as seedlings. At this point, it's impossible to say with any certainty which species they are. But, given that you said there are cherrybark oaks (a member of the red oak group) in the area, they are most likely cherrybark oak seedlings.
