March 26, 1790 — Naturalization Act of 1790, Sess. 2, ch. 3, 1 Stat. 103


"the children of citizens of the United States that may be born beyond Sea, or out of the limits of the United States, shall be considered as natural born Citizens"

NOTE- "children of citizens" Plural

Yes, under that law you didn’t have to be born in the United States to be a natural born citizen. Of course it was repealed - I believe in 1795.

The plural does not refer to two parents. This is well established. It refers to the fact there is more than one citizen in the US. There are thousands of people living today in the US who are considered natural born citizens who were born overseas of two parents only one who was a US citizen.
