Kinda hard to tell for sure... looks like red maple. Got one behind the house that's growing like that.
Your first photo looks like American Chestnut. The leaves curl like that. Please get a close up of a leaf. The second photo had a number of stuff going on. Sugar maple, basswood, quaking aspen, poison ivy...etc.
Find out if you do have Chestnut before you cut it, its kind of extinct.

That leaf is definitely catalpa. People often prune them into the "umbrella tree" shape. One of the trees that I truly despise. My parents have a very large one at their house, and it was always dropping something on the lawn all times of the year. Plus the wood from it is about useless.
Is that the tree that was laying on the ground with the split trunk? I was going to guess norway maple on that one based on the bark and the leaves visible in the foreground. Hard to tell without a better look though.
I'd like to see a better pic of that possibly American Chestnut. That could be a scientifically important tree if it's large enough to produce chestnuts. 99% of all American Chestnut was wiped out by the chestnut blight back in the 1800's.
