Unfortunately, "Cosby Alonzo" Pace's death certificate indicates his parents are "unknown". But it does list his birthplace as Macon, Georgia on 1 August 1878. His widow's name was Dovie Stewart Pace, and she was the informant. Cosby Alonzo Pace had lived in Bolton, Shelby Co., TN for 44 years when he died on 17 Nov 1944, so he moved there about 1900. (See the scanned image of his death certificate at the website below.)
