I don’t think that it does say whether or not he came from the Shire, but he lived near a river. I assume he lived near the Gladden Fields, which I believe are quite a way from the Shire. I would have to check the book, I haven't read LoTRs for a while.

Checked: No he lived in Wilderland, by the Great River (Query: Whats the name of that river in the LoTRs? Is it the one the Fellowship travel down in the elven boats? Or is that the River Running?), which is beyond the Misty Mountains in terms of the position of the shire. So no he didn't live in the Shire.
