Early and mid season droppers

I plan on doing some more top working of wild apple trees next spring, I think i have the late droppers covered for now, But i am looking for a good apple that drops August into September, and some that drop from October to November, disease resistance would be a plus. Thanks in advance.
 
Crabs (Dolgo, Kerr, Chestnut, and many others)
Williams Pride
Pristine (I don't have one, but if I wanted 'early' I'd add that to my list)

Are you in a zone that can support pears?
 
Suggestions based on my producing varieties:
Late August/early September - graniwinkle, grimes golden, baldwin, golden pearmain
Late September/early October- golden russet, roxbury russet, northern spy, rome beauty, harrison, smiths cider
Late October/early November- black twig, arkansas black, wine sap
November/December- yates, michelin
 
From ACN catalog of DR apples:
Redfree - early August. Resistant to scab and CAR, moderate resistance to FB. Annual cropper.
Crimson Gold - 2nd week of Sept. Resistant to scab.
Liberty - mid-Sept. to early Oct. Resistant to all major diseases.
Galarina - Early October. High tolerance to scab and mildew.
Freedom - Mid-October. Resistant to scab, mildew and FB.
Enterprise - late October into November. Resistant to scab, highly resistant to CAR and FB.

Early crabs: Dolgo, Whitney, Centennial.

Yes, we have a lot of wild pears here, one of my food plots is surrounded by wild pear trees, they usually drop from mid september untill about the second week of october, but this year they have been gone for a month, i blame the early spring warm up and summer drought. I planted a Kieffer pear and hope to try to graft Kieffer to some of the wild trees.
 
I'm trying some crabs from Northern Whitetail Crabs out of PA, they have a 10-point crab that is supposed to be an early dropper along with a standard size yellow delicious variety.
I can't say if they really are some newer or special strains or just something marketed under a different name, I will say the trees I bought were very healthy fast growers with great root structure. I'm trying all of their crabs and a few of the late dropping full size apple so far. Mine haven't been in the ground long enough to be producing yet but I'm happy with what I'm seeing so far and if they are half as good as they say it's a win for me and the local wildlife.
