Yes they would. Otherwise they would have put it in the Constitutionext. They were quite familiar with the concept. At that time the fathers citizenship was enough. Later changes to the law made it mother or father.

No, that is a fairy tale and a fraud. Ted Cruz was either born with no U.S. citizenship whatsoever due to his mother having expatriated as a U.S. citizen to take up Canadian citizenship, or Ted Cruz acquired U.S. citizenship by naturalization. There is not possible way by which Ted Cruz could ever be lawfully regarded as a natural born citizen of the United States.
