The most thorough attempt I know to pursue all possibilities for Tom Bombadil's identity is "Tom B: Peeling the Onion" by the late halfir at the LOTR Fanatics Plaza (squire even comes in for a citation, somewhere in there). Closer to home, have a look at the "Bombadillion" posts by NZ Strider on TORN by following links here and here.

Tolkien did alter the poem for its 1962 re-publication.
