Which US presidents were born in a log cabin?

Answer 1

Andrew Jackson would be a good guess and is right if Jackson was indeed born in a log cabin. Details about Jackson's birth are not known but his family was poor enough that a log cabin is surely possible. If Jackson was not born in a log cabin, then Zachary Taylor is the next possibility. However Taylor's birthplace is also uncertain and although some think he was born in a log cabin, he may have well been born in a frame house. Millard Fillmore was certainly born in a log cabin and is first if Jackson and Taylor do not qualify. Thanks for the feedback

Answer 2

Andrew Jackson took a 12-mile train ride on the B and O in 1833 while he was President. (John Quincy Adams rode the same train earlier, but he had left office when he took his trip.)

Answer 3

Andrew Jackson was likely the first president to be born in a log cabin. However, nobody is quite sure where he was born- he may have been born in a wagon.

Zachary Taylor is the next possibility but there is also uncertainly about where he was born. Millard Fillmore was the first whose log cabin birth is a certainty

James A. Garfield, the 20th President, was the last of seven presidents to be born in a log cabin. The seven Presidents are Andrew Jackson, Abraham Lincoln, Ulysses S grant, Zachary Taylor, Millard Fillmore, James Buchanan, and James Garfield.

Answer 4

Andrew Jackson was the first sitting President to take a train ride. His birthplace is not known, but if is was a log cabin, he would be the first to be so born. It is known that the previous presidents were not born in a log cabin.

Answer 5

Six or seven presidents were probably born in a log cabin. Andrew Jackson was the first if he was born in a log cabin, but his place of birth is not known. A log cabin is a likely possibility but there were frame houses and he may been born in a wagon. James A. Garfield, the 20th President, was the last to be born in a log cabin. The others are Abraham Lincoln, Zachary Taylor, Millard Fillmoreand James Buchanan,( I also have some doubts about Taylor's birthplace, but a log cabin seems likely if not certain.) Ulysses Grant's birthplace may have a log framework, but has board siding and is not a typical log cabin.

So, Jackson is doubtful, and so are Taylor and Grant. Why include them?
