Answer 2

By "homeschooled" do you mean educated by parents or educated in the home?
Institutionalized schools are relatively new. Most people prior to the 18th century were all educated in the home, whether by tutors and pedagogues, or by their parents.
I assume you are not talking about "university" level material, but rather the nuts and bolts of reading, writing, and 'rithmetic.
Albert Einstein was homeschooled for a time, and he's relatively modern.

Answer 3

Martha Washington
George Washington Carver

Answer 4

Abraham Lincoln.

Answer 5

In modern times, the only one I know of off-hand is Chyler Leigh, who was the "Pretty-Ugly" girl in "Not Another Teen Movie". Per IMDB.Com

" Chyler was raised in Virginia Beach, Va., USA and moved with her mother to Miami, Florida, at age 12. She was home-schooled for her entire seventh grade year, sailing with her family throughout the Caribbean for months at a time. Back on land for eighth grade, Leigh began modeling, working consistently for the next few years. As the tedium of modeling set in, Chyler branched out into acting, appearing in local commercials and hosting a syndicated teen news show called "Hall Pass" (1996). She experienced her very first whirlwind television pilot season in 1999 and was cast in a starring role on The WB comedy pilot, "Saving Graces" (1999). While the series didn't make the schedule, Leigh's breakout performance landed her a newly created role on "Safe Harbor" (1999).

When not working, Leigh enjoys all kinds of water sports, including sailing, surfing, scuba diving and snorkeling. While working on "Safe Harbor" (1999), she divided her time between the set in Jacksonville, Fla., and her home in Miami.
