Looks like a honey locust to me.

If so it would have massive thorns and compound leaves.
i don't know about it, but it looks a lot like "carob tree". try using it as a help to find your species. i know this one grows in europe, don't know about usa though: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ceratonia_s...
hope it helps!
I have one of these trees in my yard, but I cannot recall the name. :( I think it had the word 'honey' in it, though.
