I suspect that these are female Giant Wolf spiders (Hogna carolinensis), with egg cases: http://bugsinthenews.info/?p=3357

The first one looks a species in the genus Pardosa. These are usually rather small compared to the run-of-the-mill wolf spider.
How big was this one?

Pardosa species have the front part of the cephalothorax elevated more than other groups, and the sides of the face appear almost vertical. Though the orientation of the first photo doesn't give us a lateral view, the pic is very good and it seems that the eye region is more elevated than the area behind it.
