Thinking it was an elm, I did root cuttings from 1"
diameter roots. Now that the other stuff is
sprouting, I see beach leaves, not elm leaves. What a
beech.

SO............ will these root cuttings sprout or not?

I think Alan is right, you probably have Ulmus crassifolia. I have heard
them called Texas elms. And the leaves do resemble small beech leaves, ie,
they have the same ridging pattern. They sprout very easily from the roots
as do most elms. They should have corky wings on the branches.
