Can someone post one? By home state, I don't necessarily mean the state they were born in, probably the state they ran in.

I want to make a map of each state and its number of presidents.

This list has Richard Nixon's home state down as CA. But he ran from New York. Where is his library?

It's not supposed to be consistent. By home state, I want what they considered their home state.

Eisenhower, for example, is buried in Kansas.

He was born in Virginia. He ran for President in New Jersey, and I believe his entire political career was in that State.

Hoover's library is in Iowa, so I figured that should be his home state.

Home is where the heart is, as they say. Though perhaps I should change Hoover...

State of birth is pretty arbitrary. Reagan's home state is California, not Illinois. Bush's home state is Texas, not Connecticut.

Wilson is also responsible for the Federal Reserve.
