I’m also an amateur too Jim. And with yours & hope’s trees suggestion, hopefully the OP could check out their winter buds as well for a confirmed ID. Best wishes Jim! Laura

But I’m only an amateur. Give Laura the closeups she requested for expert opinion.

Could be persimmon, pawpaw, blackgum or silverbell. Yes, possibly sourwood as well, but it doesn’t show any sign of underlying red color, which sourwood has in the fall. I would guess persimmon, if I had to make one.

The leaves veins look similar to those of sourwood (Oxydendrum arborreum). But I’m only speculating. https://oregonstate.edu/dept/ldplants/oxar2.htm

Please give us closeup of these details i.e. leaves petioles, trunk, branch, and the back of leaf. For now check out some of the trees with similar looking leaves & their winter buds. Thank you & best wishes! Link to American/common persimmon (Diosyros virginiana). http://www.hort.uconn.edu/plants/detail.php?pid=159

This looks like a paw paw tree, Asiminia triloba, a small tree native to eastern US. They bear a large edible fruit.
