This has been addressed a while back by Sri Vidyasankar Sundaresan in another forum
in much detail. A small snippet follows:

"A branch of the Sringeri math was established in Kumbhakonam, the  
building for which was constructed in 1821 AD, with the help of the  
Tanjore king. The seal of this math is in Kannada language, and refers to  
it as a "Sarada math." Since Sarada is worshipped only at Sringeri, and  
the Goddess at Kanchipuram is Kamakshi, not Sarada, it is seen at once  
that the Kumbhakonam math did not originally come from Kanchipuram."
