Ok, here's another for you. Name all presidents that shared a last name. And for each pair, their relation, if any. Memory only – no searching!
Extra credit – name the first American born president (the first several were British citizens when they were first born).

Adams…father /son
Roosevelt…nephew/uncle
Bush…father/son
Johnson….no relation
First American born…James Monroe?
you left out Harrison: William Henry and Benjamin
Benjamin Harrison doesn't ring a bell, Frank.
He was prez around the time of Grover Cleveland. In fact, I think he was the one in between the two Cleveland adminstrations……his grandfather was Wm Henry Harrison who gave the infamous inaugural address in the snowstorm, caught a nasty cold, a died a few weeks later (Tippy Canoe and Tyler Too……Wm Henry was Tippy Canoe)
Duke & Frank got the 5 pairs, although it's Tippecanoe, the site of a battle.
But wrong on the first President born an American.
The first president born in the US – Martin Van Buren
