No, there will be no carry-along character from the Hobbit bowmen. I just wanted to place them in the context of this storyline, since they were a part of the forces of Fornost.
Here is my understanding of the bowmen and the battle in which they fought:
According to the Prologue to the Fellowship of the Ring, the Hobbit bowmen answered the call of their King (who would be Arvedui at Fornost) to fight against the Witch-lord of Angmar – the battle being the one in which the North Kingdom ended.
Once the North Kingdom ended, and the authority of the king was gone, the Shire chose its own leaders and did not trouble itself with the affairs of the world beyond the Shire borders for many long years.
The battle fought later in 1975 TA was led by Eärnur, son of the King of the southern kingdom of Gondor to whom the Hobbits owed no allegiance.
