UT - Druedain / Second Age Emigrants from Numenor

The UT section on "The Druedain" contains the information that a remnant of the Druedain sailed with the Atani and lived among the Numenoreans - having lived along with the Folk of Haleth in Beleriand. It also relates that as Numenor began to fall into rebellion - they begged for passage to Middle Earth on the great ships, despite their fear of the water - going one by one or in twos and threes, trying to reach the northwest parts of Middle Earth.

To where in Middle Earth did they go - and did their descendants survive into the end of the Third Age?

We're also told that by the end of the First Age, most of the Druedain lived in the White Mountains - especially the extreme east (near Anorien) and west (the peninsula of Andrast) ends. It was thought that those to the west had died out - until some came from their caves and attacked the survivors of Saruman's forces who fled south.

I suggest that the Numenoreans who gave them passage to Middle Earth might well have dropped off the Druedain they carried in the area of the White Mountains. They were probably able to learn where the other Druedain were known to be (or to have been) - and it would be a convenient stopover on their way to Pelargir, where the Faithful among the Numenorean immigrants would try to settle.

Were these "Numenorean Druedain" able to assimilate into the surviving Druedain tribes, if they found them? Or would they have tried rather to live apart from them - being accustomed to their lives in Numenor? Perhaps those in Andrast WERE the descendants of the ones who came from Numenor?
