What type of fruit trees? Peach? Cherry? Sourwood or something?

I just cut down a mulberry and a bunch of black walnut trees (they were only 5 - 7 ft tall) but there are some trees that look like saplings from peach pits or cherry pits or maybe both someone has spit out near the road by my drive way.

Can you help me identify at this link since I can only do one picture per message:

The 1st two I want to guess is a peach (same tree) while the 2nd 2 are the cherry (same tree) but I am guessing.

Thanks.

The attached picture is of a peach tree.

Thanks. I thought so but it must be what a 'wild peach tree' looks like or at least the leaves look like the peach tree leaves I remember at my grandpa & grandma's house as a child.

The modern store bought peach trees are much droppier leaves I've noticed so that confused me.

Did you look at the link? I attached a picture in case you are leery of following a link.

Is that other 2 pictures of a cherry tree from a pit someone's spit out? Or maybe a bird or squirrel left it from the 60 ft black cherry in the back yard. They leaves on it aren't a long or have the waves in the leaves like the peach. There must be 2, 3 or even 4 or those saplings just a ways up from the peach tree beside the driveway.

Here is a link that might be useful: 2 identified as peach. Are the other 2 cherry? Black Cherry? Wild cherry?

Close up of the bark of the same tree picture of above message.

Looking at the pictures again it looks very similar to the peach but the leaves are shorter and don't just 'flop' or 'droop' as much as the peach trees leaves do if you know what I mean.

By the way, anyone actually wanting black walnut saplings I can send them to you.

The small trees though I understand the taproot will make it about impossible to transplant.

I am in Somerset, Kentucky.

I also have many wild grape vines but I imagine all of you all do too. Or at least nearby.
