Unfortunately, though, I'm afraid you got your information mixed up about Princeton Cemetery. There is only one US President (Grover Cleveland) buried in Princeton Cemetery. There is also a Vice-President, Aaron Burr (served under Thomas Jefferson), buried there. I suspect that the 11 presidents you heard about are former presidents of Princeton University, for there are indeed a number of them buried on the south end of the cemetery (including Declaration of Independence signer John Witherspoon and notable preacher Jonathan Edwards). Princeton's most famous leader, US President Woodrow Wilson, spent his retirement in Washington, D.C., and thus was buried there instead of back in Princeton.
My familiarity with presidential burial sites comes from the fact that, between December 1999 and March 2004, I visited the gravesite of every deceased US President. And I will say one thing for sure...if there were 11 presidents buried in one location, my quest would have been completed a whole lot sooner! :-)
I have posted a set of pictures of all of the US Presidents' gravesites here on Zooomr, so feel free to check that out if you're interested. And I have a much more-extensive collection of photos at my own website, The Cemetery Project (click on "Category" and "United States Presidents" to see all the pictures I took....and yes, I know I haven't updated the site forever :-).
By the way, there are three locations where 2 US Presidents are buried at the same cemetery. Presidents John Adams and John Quincy Adams are buried in the crypt beneath the United First Parish Church in Quincy, Massachusetts. Presidents James Monroe and John Tyler are buried near each other at Hollywood Cemetery in Richmond, Virginia. And Presidents William Howard Taft and John F. Kennedy are both buried in Arlington National Cemetery in Arlington, Virginia.
And further proving that I have no life and my head is stuffed with completely useless information, I can share that Crown Hill Cemetery in Indianapolis, Indiana, is the burial site of one US president (Benjamin Harrison) and 3 US Vice Presidents (Charles Fairbanks, Thomas Hendricks, and Thomas Marshall).
I will spare you any further trivia, but I will probably add some to my picture set here, and my website has enough random gravesite trivia to guarantee victory if there's ever a "Famous Burial Sites" category on Jeopardy!

Take this picture for example
http://www.zooomr.com/photos/denisgobo/2935334/
I can't open this in IE but I can in FF
So yes I can add it but then a lot of people won't be able to see the pic (until it is fixed or they all switch to FireFox)

Another one that I liked was "I'm just resting my eyes" (also in Key West):
