but your leaf looks like a walnut leaf, and the spots look like damage from Microstroma juglandis, which is a common but not serious fungal pathogen of walnuts. Info here (see page 3 and figure 4).

Rhus glabra with smooth, purple leaf rachis (very similar-looking walnut leaves have hairy, brown rachis).
