Help identifying these two tree species

My first thought for "A" was pin cherry, but I see that you live a little south of pin cherry natural range, so choke cherry it is.

I've seen "B" but cannot recall at the moment what it might be.
 
Hmm, neither pin or choke cherry have a natural range in Tenn., but both can grow there. At the least, I'd have to say some kind of cherry. My grand mother had a cherry tree in her garden, and I spent many hours staring at its branches when I was little.

The weather is despicable where I am just now, so I spent some time googling around. Branch "B" might be something called "autumn olive." The pictures I find show a similar pattern for the bark, tho' there are not spots of red like in the pic, but rusty brown. It has berries that look a little like small cherries, but are longer, and more olive shaped. Also found in Tenn., but originally from Japan.
