Since I would give you the win if it was Abraham Lincoln, I think I need to count that as a guess.
Answer:
No.

I have narrowed it to two, so I'll use both as two questions
1. Is it JFK?
2. Is it Franklin Pierce?

So what we've narrowed down is:
1. Can't be a 20th century president (the only one who died more than 50 years ago and wasn't born in the 1800's is JFK, and Caroline is still alive).
2. Can't be a 19th century president who lived into the 1900's. This means it has to be #21 Chester Arthur, or before.
3. Can't be any of presidents #18-21, all of whom were officers in the Civil War: Arthur, Garfield, Hayes, Grant.
4. Can't be Washington, who didn't live past 1799.
5. So we're down to presidents #2-17, but not Lincoln.
6. Not #15 Buchanan, #11 Polk, nor #4 Madison, who had no children.
Of the ones it can be, the most famous is Thomas Jefferson, so I'll guess him.
