Mystery Trees and Berries

Outside the front of the house we just recently purchased are two trees just a few feet out from the steps leading down from the front porch.  Hanging on higher branches/limbs are a few dried shriveled berries remaining from last Autumn.  They are deep brown almost black with a hint of red that can still be seen.  At this point we have no clue what these trees may be.  Maybe crabapple or possibly buckthorn ?  Hopefully here in the next month or so the trees will flower and reveal the mystery.
