Ian is right that not all private airports are recognized by the FAA.
The two examples you gave appear to be examples of that.
The second example *is* shown on FAA's VFR Sectional Chart (that pilots
use to navigate in visual conditions) as an "unverified" airport
(circled U) but with no additional info:

As far as I know, FAA's "Airport/Facility Directory" is the official
list of airports in the United States, and it has a lot of useful
information. Of course, that doesn't help in this case since these
airports are not in it.
