Yeah there are a couple of those that are kind of just in the way and I’m trying to decide if they are worth keeping.

The first looks like a water oak. The next ones look like some kind of red oak. I'll go out on a limb on the last and say tupelo or black gum

Make sure those oaks aren't too close to the house. Much easier to deal with now, then when they're huge. Esp. water oaks.

Yep, all but last are various oaks. Go look for acorns from them--shape/color of acorn can help you ID the specific variety of oak. Many oaks have slightly variable leaf shapes, so leaves will only get you so far.

Spindly last one might be some kinda fruit tree? Plum, pear?

AlxTgr got them all except the last. Persimmon's don't have serrated leaves. I think it's a peach or a cherry some other kind of fruit tree. Hard to tell.

Possibly, but I'm going to throw a possibility out there of a regular apple tree, which may explain it's poor health and being in the deep south.
