立身出世の社会史: サムライからサラリーマンへ (1995)
  Comments:
actually looking at the google books results, a lot of the usage seems to describe British "country gentlemen" and not in a derogative 
manner from what I can tell. Also 立身出世の社会史 mention it being used for wealthy landowners. So no issues with "squire"

I don't quite like "(somewhat unrefined)" 
tagged on at the end. Is "squire" really 
right? Does it have a connotation of 
unrefinement? Because I think that's the point 
of this word.

I think "yokel" is a bit strong.  Is 田紳 an abbreviation?
