"4)The only real person to be a Pez head was Betsy Ross. "

Not so, young worm!

From http://www.snopes.com/history/american/pez.htm

"Rarely have PEZ dispensers featured real people, however -- when humans have been depicted, they have generally been either fictional characters (such as Santa Claus) or generic representations of roles (such as a fireman or pilot). The lone exceptions came in 1976, when PEZ distributed a special series of nine dispensers based on an American history theme to coincide with the bicentennial of the United States.

The Bi-Centennial PEZ dispensers were also primarily generic representations of types (Indian Chief, wounded soldier) and fictional characters (Uncle Sam). But despite what a popular trivia item claims, the series also included not just one, but three real people -- Legendary flag-maker Betsy Ross, frontiersman Daniel Boone, and celebrated Revolutionary War figure Paul Revere. The Paul Revere figure was simply designated "Captain," so it is often overlooked as one of the few "real person" dispensers. "
