Tree ID Help 2.0

There are locust trees around and about this area. None are native - all planted by homesteaders in the 1880's. I thought they were black locust but the leaf pattern Moss posted isn't quite like what's around here. Here the "leaflets" all angle towards the tip of the branch and are more slender - not so rounded.

For sure - none of the ones around here - even though some are over 100 years old - are as big as that one pictured by the OP.

Thank you everyone. I would go look today, but it is just too wet and swampy to get to the tree. Hopefully it dries up some. Not holding my breath with rain forecast today and Saturday.

We have only been on the property since July and the tree came down bc it was leaning into the pasture. Didn't want to wait on it to fall.

I will report back this weekend hopefully.

Thanks again!


EDIT:

From what I saw in the trips to gather the pictures, I did not see any of the small thorns. With that and the picture of the twigs leads me to think Red Elm now, like others.
