I don't think it's ever stated in the writings; I think it's just a somewhat logical assumption many (most?) make in our head-canon.

In reference to the nine, we also know that one Easterling, Khamûl, had one of the nine and was 2nd in command of the Nazgûl after the Witch King of Angmar. Any guesses who got the other five? I know this is reaching into the realm of fan-cic, but it is fun and interesting to speculate.
