3 President's Adams, Jefferson and Monroe have died on July 4. Adams and Jefferson both in 1826, Monroe (known as 'The Last Cocked Hat') in 1831. These are respectively our 2nd, 3rd and 5th presidents.
Our 4th president James Madison ruined an even neater coincidence by dying on June 28 1836...less than a week before the 4th of July.

Very interesting indeed. Just came across your blog randomly but thanks for the bit of trivia. :)
For what it's worth the source was my World Almanac calendar.
