Pretty much, I'll give it to you. They were each the last person to be president of an independent (at least in their own minds, obviously in the case of the CSA this was in dispute) nation that was later absorbed into the United States. Dole was President of the Republic of Hawaii before the U.S. annexed it.

Not what I was thinking of, but I'll give it to you. I was going for the fact that they all had adopted children.

Don't give it to me. Nancy Reagan was never married to anyone other than Ronald Reagan. I did some checking after posting my guess.
Seeing as you gave away the answer, you'll have to come up with a new one.

All were elected from states that weren't their state of birth?

Garfield was both born and elected from Ohio, so no!

The middle names of all three came from one of their parents:
Dwight David Eisenhower (father David)
Thomas Woodrow Wilson (mother Janet Woodrow)
James Abram Garfield (father Abram)

Wow. Not at all what I was thinking, but impressive. There's a little more obvious connection, that applies to only these three Presidents.

Hey, if I'm going to fail, at least I fail impressively.
