4 - Andre was the spy involved with Benedict Arnold. He was executed, probably hung.
5 - Wilson
11 - I'll go with Coolidge for Vermont. I've been to his place, don't remember the town. Ohio produced a lot of Presidents, for someone with a lot of President knowledge, that town doesn't sound familiar, probably didn't live there later in life. I'll guess Harding.
