The Infamous Eccentric Tooks

I've been putting a little bit of thought into Hildifons Took and Isingar Took, two of the Tooks that went off on hobbit adventures.

Ive been wondering exactly what their fates consisted of. I know their is no official information on this, but you guys seem to have a better grasp on the "big picture" of middle-earth. I was wondering if any one has brewed any theories. It seems most people think that these two had some dealing with Gandalf, which seems fairly logical to me.

From what I could find, Hildifons was born in third age 2844, but the date of his leaving the shire, and death are unknown. He never came back.

Isengar was born in third age, 2862. Died in 2960. It is said he went to sea in his youth. This is equally puzzeling.

Does anyone have any guesses on what their adventures consisted of? What major events could these two hobbits have been tied to? What in gods name would "going to sea" accomplish?
