Hear Hear! I'm not sure who it was who was implying the hobbits were T&G's offspring though...

Regarding when and where Maggot and Tom met, i'd say they had been friends (at least associates) for a long time prior to the War of the Ring. Maggot went into the old forest to see Bombadil, because as Tom himself said something along the lines of; "I stay within the boundaries of my realm..." tom wouldn't have gone to see Maggot.
