While Wilson was born in Virginia and lived there as a small child, he spent his formative years in and lived most of his life in New Jersey, was the president of Princeton and was governor of New Jersey.
As for the Bushes, Prescott was a product of the Northeast as was GHWB. He only moved to Texas well into adulthood. W did grow up in Texas though he was obviously the scion of the Bush family and went to Yale just like daddy.
Its fair to lay LBJ and Carter and Clinton on the South, but not Wilson or the Bushes. The latter were products of the Northeast.
