BeauWashington, Jefferson, Madison Monroe , and Tyler were the Virginians that became president. These five were born and raised in Virginia, held office in Virginia and came back to Virginia to live after they were president. Three others ( W. H. Harrison, Taylor, Wilson) were born in Virginia but moved away before they achieved any prominence. None of the others had any Virginia ties at all.
That would be most of them. Eight presidents were born there, leaving 35 who weren't.
