5 is Goodchild. Which is Sam's mother's maiden name-- went searching the family trees.
Also-- I did utilize my Complete Guide to Middle Earrh by Robert Foster and a thesaurus so not getting it out of thin air or my limited brain pan.

I certainly didn't expect anyone to get them ALL! 
#9 is correct
and Goodchild for #5 is Good for a second try.
Keep an eye pealed for 'Part the Two' coming in a few days. 
Thanks for playing !

Late thoughts from the teapot....

1. Endless Stair
2. Bill the pony
3. Free Fair
4. The Paths of the Dead, perhaps?
5. Goodchild
6. The Greenway
7. Hmm..... *scratches ear*...... aha - Arkenstone!
8. Phial/File of Galadriel!
9. Sorry, you got me. I would offer Spellbound Pass or Enchanted Pass, 'cept I don't think either of those are in Tolkien!
10. Golden Perch
11. Lightfoot
12. Wandering Days (daze) - I confess I looked up Roaming/Lost/Wandering in the Complete Guide 
13. Kingsfoil
14. Northern Waste
15. Ring of Doom
That was fun! I've missed your games! *Passes Bracegirdle a cup of tea and some scones*
For still there are so many things
that I have never seen:
in every wood and every spring
there is a different green. . .

In case you haven’t peeked:
#4 “Paths” sorta, kinda works – but how about…
A stride of the deceased might be called the Gait (Gate) of the Dead.
9. Sorry, you got me. I would offer Spellbound Pass or Enchanted Pass, 'cept I don't think either of those are in Tolkien!
Oh so close! How 'bout: The bewitched transfer of a football is a Haunted Pass?
12. Wandering Days (daze) - I confess I looked up Roaming/Lost/Wandering in the Complete Guide .
Ah, confession is good for the soul, but unnecessary, as not looking up wasn’t part of the ‘rules’.
Thanks for the tea & scones. .  Always a delicious joyful pleasure to visit the comfy teapot.

Gate/Gait makes much more sense than 'Paths' I'd never have thought of haunted as being similar to bewitched, but I suppose..... hmmm...
Have some more tea!

4 the Marches (Marshes) of the Dead
4. A stride of the deceased might be called The Gait (Gate) of the Dead.
10 gold eyrie -- Goldberry?
10 . A gilded bird roost is a golden perch.
A Bag-full of thanks for playing!
