Refugees going north

The refugees coming north at the start of LOTR... going up to the Shire borders and also to Bree. Where do you think they came from?

It hardly seems like Sauron would have disturbed much of anything further from Mordor than Rohan? But if these folks were from east of Rohan, it's hard to imagine them traveling so far, or passing through Rohan. Besides... Gondor is east of Rohan!

Maybe they were from the Enedwaith area, west of Dunland? Was Saruman causing enough disruption in the area already that people who might have lived there felt uncomfortable enough to move?

There doesn't seem to be much late 3rd Age civilization north of Bree anyway. Where do you think these people ended up?
