Virginia, with eight (Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, Wm. H. Harrison, Tyler, Taylor and Wilson) was the birthplace of the most presidents. However, Taylor and Wilsonâ¦ moved out of Virginia with their parents when they were young children and Harrison as a very young adult.
Since my hometown of Quincy, IL is named after a U.S. President -- John Quincy Adams, our 6th President -- I decided to use this week's column to focus on Presidents who toiled as inventors. By the way, there are 12 states that contain a Quincy: CA, FL, IL, IN, KS, KY, MA, MI, MO, OH, PA and WA. While Thomas Jefferson, our nation s 3rd President, was the most accomplished inventor among all the U.S. Presidents, he did not hold a patent on any of his inventions.
