I kept wondering why John Tyler didn't work for Charles City County, Va. (where he was in fact born), but forgot ... Tyler and Tippecanoe too! (Non-US folks will not get this.)

Oof.

Short version: 1840 election: The Whig party had John Tyler and William Henry Harrison on the same ticket (for President and Vice Prez). Their campaign slogan (and associated song, as was the style at the time) was "Tippecanoe and Tyler Too."

This referred to Harrison, the "Hero of Tippecanoe" -- so-called because he led the US government forces to victory over native/aboriginal Americans at the 1811 Battle of Tippecanoe. And, well, Tyler too. I guess. He was on the ticket, after all.

The gimmick here was that the two folks on the ticket, Tyler and Harrison, were both born in Charles City County, VA.

So @mf3 remembered that Tyler was born there, and wondering why that didn't work as an answer. Until they remembered the slogan (even though they had it backward 😛), leading to the realization that: oh yeah. "Tippecanoe" (a.k.a.: William Henry Harrison) was also born there...!

Tyler died in Richmond, the Confederate capital, during the Civil War. He had been elected to the Confederate Congress, and was even buried wrapped in its flag.

It was interesting to see how sometimes one of the givens wouldn't mean all that much but the other would almost instantly trigger the right answer.

Sadly, no. John Adams (the second president) was born and later died in Quincy. His son (the sixth president) was born in Braintree and died in Washington, in the Capitol itself, where he had suffered a stroke while representing his state as a member of the House of Representatives. He was, however, buried in Quincy, alongside his parents.

John Adams, Sr., was also born in Braintree, MA. He died at his family estate (Peacefield) in neighboring Quincy.

The Adamses married into the Quincy family, after which Quincy is named. So it's not direct but not a coincidence either.

Quincy was part of Braintree originally. Both JA and JQA were born in Quincy (Braintree). Quincy split off from Braintree in 1792.

Knew 2, guessed 9 others by copy/pasting well-known presidents in all the boxes (incl. Van Buren - the first US president born in the USA :) I think I deserve more than 1 point for all that effort :(
