From a conversation with Charles Pool who is a grandson of Maude (Maughs) Pool.
Both Maude and Pearl came from an orphanage in Union City, Kentucky. The orphanage burnt down so no records exist. However, their "original" name was Newcomb.
Henry Maughs wanted to adopt Pearl but not Maude. The orphanage wanted both girls to stay together and wouldn't allow them to be separated. As a result Henry took both.
If you have knowledge of the orphange at Union City or know of this family I would be interested in hearing from you.
