1795, Zephaniah Swift, US Congressman and future Chief Justice of the Connecticut Supreme Court published, A System of the Laws of the State of Connecticut: in Six Books".
In what is the first legal treatise published in the United States, Swift wrote, The children of aliens born in this state are considered as natural born subjects and have the same rights with the rest of the citizens.
So the question would be, "How did the Framers inform the citizens of Connecticut that the term natural born had a new meaning?"
