Authorities in the country did not recognize children of aliens or foreigners as citizens until the father was himself naturalized, whether those children were born here or elsewhere, right up into the twentieth century.

The Ark case established Federal recognition of those born here to non-citizen parents (naturalized or not).

Oh really? That's odd, I was under the impression that Justice Gray of Wong Kim Ark had himself earlier determined in Elk v. Wilkins that:

“The persons declared to be citizens are “all persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof.” The evident meaning of these last words is not merely subject in some respect or degree to the jurisdiction of the United States, but completely subject to their political jurisdiction and owing them direct and immediate allegiance."

You cite Justice Gray in the one instance as somehow being definitive of citizenship via Wong Kim Ark and yet completely ignore his own prior decision elaborating upon the meaning of "subject to the jurisdiction thereof," a concept with which you're having evident difficulty today.
