1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 11. Real human born 1850-1899 in what is currently the United States, but not California, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Ohio, Michigan, or Minnesota.
3. Native speaker of a Germanic language
6. Dead
7. Best known for military, politics, or government
9. Did not ever serve as president or vice president of the United States, or run for president or vice president of the United States
10. Known for military service or command

Up to 11 but making good progress.

Edit: fixed a copy/paste typo

Not Patton

However given how far along we are at 14 guesses, I encourage folks to not be shy about using a non-free guess if they feel strongly about the identity.

Bradley it is - this being the 80th anniversary of D-Day, it felt appropriate. Congrats.
