I'd say serviceberries. The Native tree species requires natural soil conditions, though, which means your woods have to be healthy enough to have its own, natural layer of topsoil under the leaf litter, a few inches deep, or you'd have to artificially recreate the proper conditions.
Deerberries might also be a good call & black raspberries like partial shade & a lot of moisture, though none of those are trees. I've also caught Chokecherries managing themselves as undergrowth shrubs & still producing a fair amount of fruit, so I think pincherries- more native to the Appalachian Mountains- would do the same, if you can find any. Maybe also elderberries.
