Millard Fillmore would be a good guess. He was born in a log cabin, but the guess concerns how many before him. were born in a log cabin. It is rather likely but not certain. that Andrew Jackson was born in a log cabin. Zachary Taylor may also have been born in a log cabin, so he may be second. If neither Jackson not Taylor was in fact born in a log cabin, then Fillmore would be first and James Buchanan would be second.
Log cabins were introduced in America in Delaware in the 1770s by Swedish and Finnish immigrants. Since then, these buildings spread throughout America. Such was its popularity not only homes, but schools, churches, barns and commercial buildings came to be constructed from the records. Many American presidents such as Abraham Lincoln and Andrew Jackson were born in log cabins. (from homebuildingkits.org)
Abraham Lincoln
Be born in a log cabin.
I don't believe that he was born in a city, as he was said to be born in a log cabin in the hills of Kentucky.
Andrew Jackson would be a good guess and is right if Jackson was indeed born in a log cabin. Details about Jackson's birth are not known but his family was poor enough that a log cabin is surely possible. If Jackson was not born in a log cabin, then Zachary Taylor is the next possibility. However Taylor's birthplace is also uncertain and although some think he was born in a log cabin, he may have well been born in a frame house. Millard Fillmore was certainly born in a log cabin and is first if Jackson and Taylor do not qualify. Thanks for the feedback

Andrew Jackson was likely born in a log cabin or maybe a wagon. The exact place of his birth is not known, but his mother was in humble circumstances to be sure. Similarly for Zachary Taylor. although his parents were somewhat richer than Jackson's. He may have been born in a cabin on a plantation, but maybe in the main house . Millard Fillmore, James Buchanan, Abraham Lincoln,Andrew Johnson, Ulysses Grant and James Garfield were born in cabins or cottages. Eisenhower was born in a rented room. Harry Truman and Lyndon Johnson were born in small farmhouses. Hoover was born in a cottage. Reagan was born in a rented up-stairs apartment above a bakery.
Lincoln , Fillmore, Buchanan and Garfield were definitely born in log cabins. The exact birthplace of Jackson and Taylor is not known. Jackson is likely to have been born in a log cabin- Taylor less likely but quite possibly. Andrew Johnson was born in a small log house. Grant was born in a very small house that was partially made of logs, I think. William Henry Harrison may have lived in a log house for awhile when he first went to Indiana.
Fillmore and Lincoln were born in log cabins. I am not sure of the definition of cabin, but Andrew Johnson and Grant were born in very small houses.
Andrew Jackson is probably the man you have in mind. He was the first to be nominated at a national convention and to run for a national party and he had lived in a log cabin from time to time when he was young.
