Can someone help me identify these counter stamps ? My reference books are still buried somewhere.

  I'm very curious, would you please provide the titles of the books you use to ID countermarks that you cannot find? Thanks in advance!

  A google search on "A. BATES" countermark coin yielded
  the same countermark on an 1834 large cent (vs. yours which is 1830), listed as Brunk B-389.

  It also yielded the large online list of known countermarks from Brunk's index.

  I don't see "CLIFTON ORRR" on this list.
  Nor "JHH".
  JHH looks like a silversmith hallmark, so you could check the silversmith lists.
  I did not find it on this list:
