I do believe that at the beginning of the chapter The Scouring of the Shire Frodo, Sam, Merry, and Pippin entered into Buckland, or at least to the Brandywine Bride, which is thereabouts. The gate key was kept by none other than Bill Ferny. The Chief already had his authority there, so I would think that if Buckland did put up a fight that they were not successful. Pippin went out to get hobbits from the Great Smials to fight, but Merry stayed in Bywater from the time they arrived there to the time that the Battle of Bywater ended.
