How about Blackgum or Cucumber Tree?

Any nuts or fruits on the ground? I know its the wrong time of year, but maybe something is left.  Pic of leaves on the ground?

Upstate, I thought of black gum but the bark doesn't look right and a cucumber tree is one of the deciduous magnolias.

I almost want to say it's from the buckeye or horse chestnut family but I just can't get a positive identification. This has really thrown me for a loop

Sort of looks like walnut, but that's a wild guess.  Check with the county extension office, they can very likely give you a positive I.d.

Walnuts are compound leaves also. Buckeye and Chestnuts have compound leaves also.

When I went to some horticulture classes when I was younger there were a number of ways to identify trees.Leaves/fruit/bark/overall symmetry or shape from a distance.You've shown 2 identification markers.

Maybe a Rhamnus. The leaves look very much like a Cascara. I know I'm about 2000 miles west so it won't be Cascara. Something like a Buckthorn maybe.

Buckthorn has Cherry or Black Birch-like bark and looks really scrubby in general.

 Take a pic that shows more of the whole tree.
