To be honest, I'm not sure. They look like wild grapes (Muscadines) but they arent growing in clusters and it's not really a vine...so I'm not sure. And, I dont know of anyone that I could ask

Maybe Serviceberry?

If I can get a hold of my granny today I'll ask her, she'd knmow. My grandparents used to collect wild greens and berries and especially nuts from the woods when I was a kid.

Looks like privet to me - when it's not cut into a hedge, it can get long-limbed.

Better leave the fruit for the birds and critters.

Thanks guys!!! I think it is privet. I had some more pictures that wouldn't upload and they look just like the pictures in your link. I was searching the wrong direction. They were growing in the middle of a bunch of honey suckle. The fence line was covered with vines.
