They were all black?

Jefferson was described as the "son of a half-breed Indian squaw and a Virginia mulatto father" (from the link)

Jackson, Coolidge, and Harding are merely speculation
(I would need to see a geneological tree...)

Although there is a little more evidence for Lincoln (but it could be speculation also).
