Cleveland, Jackson and FDR. Cleveland is a guess. I suspect Jefferson is another, if truth be known about 1796.

Actually Adams definitely won the PV in 1796, and may have done so in 1800.  Jefferson's support was concentrated in the South where there were far more "other Persons" who absolutely could not vote, but did contribute 3/5 of a person when it came to Representatives and Electors.
1796 is hard to tell since in many cases electors weren't strictly aligned with presidential candidates, and results have been lost from many states that did hold popular elections.

Of surviving results:

Georgia: Jefferson 6.2 Adams 2.6
Kentucky: unknown but voted for Jefferson
Maryland: Adams 7.0 Jefferson 6.4
Massachusetts: Legislature chose electors in 6 of 14 districts where no candidate had majority.  About 14,000 votes cast, so totally arbitrary Adams 9.0 Jefferson 5.0
New Hampshire: Huh Adams 3.0 Jefferson 1.0
Pennsylvania: Jefferson 12.3 Adams 12.2
Virginia: Huh But see 1800.

In 1800, only 5 states chose electors by popular vote .  Maryland, North Carolina, and Rhode Island were close.  Kentucky was missing and presumably a big win for Jefferson.  Virginia was a total blowout for Jefferson.
