In briefanswer capsule

The Harfoots were the smallest and brownest of the three kindreds, beardless and going unshod, with neat and nimble hands and feet. They kept to highlands and hillsides, had most to do with Dwarves of any hobbits, and came west earliest — they were already known to the rulers of Arnor in the eleventh century of the Third Age. Most hobbits of the Shire descend from them.
