Millard Fillmore was born on January 7, 1800 in a log cabin in Moravia, Cayuga County, in the Finger Lakes region of New York State to Nathaniel Fillmore and Phoebe Millard, as the second of nine children and the eldest son. (As this was three weeks after George Washington's death, Fillmore was the first U.S. President born after the death of a former president.) He was the first future American President to be born in the 1800s.
