To be clear, “well known” is not to the general public who almost certainly has no idea who this person is, but rather along the population of, e.g., relevant historians who would know this person and their reasons for fame.

Born in an area that is within the frame of this map (but is not currently part of Florida, Honduras, Nicaragua, or Costa Rica)? https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/85/CIA_map_of_the_Caribbean.png

No.

Yes.

1. Real dead male human
2,8. Born in 1784 -- 1880
3,4,6,7,9. Born in North America, but not born in the USA, not born in the Caribbean (as shown on the map in the question), and not born in what is currently Canada or Mexico.
5. Primarily famous for something or some things related to politics, government, the military or multiple militaries, royalty or being royalty, nobility or being nobility, religion or multiple religions, or philosophy
10. Well known for military- or paramilitary-related achievements

So born in Greenland, the CSA or other secessionist state, a part of Mexico that was later annexed by the USA, a small island territory outside the Caribbean or a Central American nation

It would also potentially be in the Louisiana Purchase, pre-Purchase

Born in a location that is currently part of Belize, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, or Panama?

If no, I have a free guess: Geronimo

And you are correct! Congratulations!

Aristocrat, you might appreciate this: when I was settling on my pick, I anticipated that I might be asked whether or not this person was a citizen of the USA (presumably meaning at any point in his life). I spent a nontrivial amount of time reading up on Elk v. Wilkins, the Dawes Act, and the Indian Citizenship Act until I convinced myself the answer was "no".

Yay! Good pick.

Starting the next thread right now.
