The phrase "natural born citizen" appears in a
1774 English translation of the book Institutio Oratoria (in Latin), by Marcus Fabius Quintilianus (published in the first century A.D.); this was done in Chapter I of Book VIII.by Patsall.
Natural law <===> Natural Born Citizen <===> Law of Nations (Vattel).
Of course, a number of framers also read Latin.

Quintilianus, Institutio Oratoria,
Book 1, Chapter VIII, translation by Patsall (1774). There have been at least five different English translations of this work and this sentence.
The first was by Guthrie in 1756. Since then, there have been translations by Patsall in 1774 (ABOVE).
