While you are factually correct about old Tom, he's not one of the "human" representatives in the book. I wouldn't expect the Ents to be affected by the Ring, either.
On Sam, one can speculate, but I don't recall anything at all to suggest that he wanted to keep the Ring himself. If anyone can point to anything, I'd be interested.
