Species I.D. hardwood tree
I'm thinking this is a Quercus imbricaria, which has the nickname of &quot;shingle oak&quot;; they're native to the eastern regions of the United States, which includes your state and county, exhibited immediately below.

Distribution
 Brown = absent; Dark green = present in state/Native; Light green = present in county/Native.

The leaves
The leaves are mostly linear in shape, with entire margins &amp; a combination of pinnate and dichotomous venation. The overall color, size and sheen also seem to match quite well.

Overall tree
Surprisingly, I had a difficult time finding a decent image that showed a close up of the branching for this tree, so I decided to use an image of a Quercus laurifolia instead, which is of the same genus as the proposed species, and is also found in the eastern [but more southern parts of the] United States.
