Answer:

Eight Presidents were born in Virginia:

George Washington
Thomas Jefferson

Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Monroe and Tyler had homes in Virginia before and after they were president. Harrison, Taylor and Wilson moved out of the state long before they held public office or were president.

NOTE: The question is worded "presidents" not "U.S. Presidents"... Sam Houston (twice president of Texas) was also born in Virginia.

NOTE 2: Three men also born in Virginia became president of Liberia on 5 different occasions.
