@porkpal, you could be right. Those pale green leaves could very well be a variety of Birch rather than Elm! Leaves of young elms don't appear as pubescent/soft or as light in color as those in GardenGoobers photos.

The Arbor Day Foundation lists two Birch trees:
River Birch (Betula nigra)
Paper Birch (Betula papyrifera)

For comparison, here are leaf photos of River Birch, B. nigra:
