Or maybe since nobody knows where hobbits came from, nor Bombadillo and Goldberry, Old Tom and Goldberry gave life to the Hobbits. Tom was a short and stout little fellow. Maybe Maggot is directly of his lineage, explaining their friendship and close proximity. Who knows how people are connected in Middle Earth.
