More on Ohio Presidents-- Part 3: "Foreign-Born" Presidents


Only William Henry Harrison wasn't actually born in Ohio, but he did call Ohio home from the time it became a state.

Actually, when he was born, there were no states.  Just 13 colonies.

In fact, he was the last president to be elected who could be considered being born under a foreign power.

The other seven presidents  born under a foreign power were:  George Washington, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, James Monroe, John Quincy Adams and Andrew Jackson.

They were British subjects when born.
