This grew out of my Down Da Road I Go Blog which now has become primarily what I'm doing and music. I was getting so much history in it, I spun this one off and now have World War II and War of 1812 blogs which came off this one. The Blog List below right has all the way too many blogs that I write.

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.
