Read the Blackstone quote and origins of the law quotes.

Blackstone was followed throughout, and British law was followed throughout. They were used in 1790, 1795, 1802, etc.

So, the DEFINITION AND USE of “natural born” did not change from the way the British had used it.

However it demonstrates the Founders’ original thinking on the issue.
