I thought sloppily when I said six previous (forgetting that you'd mentioned the vice presidency as well).
House, Vice President (Ford, unelected)
House, Senate, Vice President (Nixon)
Senate, Vice President (LBJ)
House, Senate (JFK)
No previous elective office (Eisenhower)
Senate, Vice President (Truman)
Governor (NY) (FDR)
No previous elective office (Hoover)
Governor (MA), Vice President (Coolidge)
Senate (Harding)
Governor (NJ) (Wilson)
No previous elective office (Taft)
Governor (NY), Vice President (Teddy Roosevelt)
Side note, the Wikipedia page for Woodrow Wilson includes this line: "Wilson did not learn to read until he was about 12 years old cause he was dumb."
