Old home place find,WHAT IS IT??

Found this growing on an abandoned home place.  Looks like house is from 1900-1920.  The leaf looks like a fig leaf but the tree doesn't.  It weeps latex like a fig, has multiple trunks with brown/greenish covering, not bark like hardwood fig trunk, closer to greenwood limbs.  I suspect some type of Ficus but not Carica, don't know.

Kill it with fire.  It's an undesirable form of Mulberry (Mulberry and Fig are related). 

Please see this thread I created at GW for the same thing:
