So then this brings up more questions... do you have to wear it to actually be the bearer of the One Ring? If so, then you would have to count Tom as he did have it, and he did put it on. As for the question of belonging, I say it belonged to Sauron alone because it was he who made it and poured himself into it, and it was evermore trying to get back to him.

I would count Deagol as a ringbearer even if he didn't put it on (which we don't know if he did or not) because if it wasn't for him finding it at the bottom of the Anduin, Smeagol wouldn't of ever had it.
