    Looks like pokeweed to me (Phytolacca americana). DO NOT EAT THIS---any of it!

    Looks like a Cornus, possibly Cornus walteri?

    Not pokeweed. Probably is a dogwood.

    Looks like Rhamnus sp. (or Frangula sp.)...

    Showing the winter buds might help make it more clear what it is. Photos of overall plant habit and also bark might make it click with someone, too.

    Probably a shrubby honeysuckle.

    Agree with Ron, new pics show berries more clearly.
