I thought it was notable which presidents were survived by one or more parents. Kennedy was the only one survuved by both. I think Polk's mother and Garfield's father (or vice-versa) survived them.

survuved = survived
I'm getting lazy about that spell-check . . .

There are a few in Arlington, but yes, that's Virginia. It's a question I remember from an old Trivial Pursuit game, and it really can get people scratching their heads.

No big deal.
#6 is annoying me, though. I **should** get this one. Goldwater is the fly in the ointment. Grrrr.

No# 7 should be easy, there are only two federal holidays that are observed on the actual date, Christmas and the 4th of July.
What ever president is born on one of those dates must be the answer.

You have to be kidding me....That one's obvious.

Wilson - his tomb is in the National Cathedral. (I go there a lot)

Not so. The question guarantees the day under discussion is Friday, not a named date. The only Friday of the year on which the Post Office is always closed is the day after Thanksgiving.
Therefore, it's whichever Pres was born in late November. Which I don't have a clue about because Presidential birthdays aren't of much interest.

Who was the "first" President?
George Washington is NOT the answer!
To: Hoodlum91
Yep! He and Edith are right in the nave. Good job.
To: Cyber Liberty
I thought for a moment that it was 'carrying the state in which the nominee in question went to college', but that's not it, surely, because Lincoln never attended college (and I don't think Bryan did, either).

I wonder if # 6 has someting to do with winning party conventions.
I googled William Jennings Bryant. Found out he was a 3 time Democratic Party nominee.

The question doesn't say the birthday is on a Friday every year. That would be impossible, anyway. Nobody's b-day is weekday-dependent. I'm going with the 7/4 or 12/25 theory.
