I have read that natural born is interchangable with native born.
Found it read into the Congrssional Record pertaining to George Romney, who was not native born, and hence not eligible.

Here is the article, published in the Congressional Record of the House une 14, 1967.
From article:
“The Constitution itself does not define the term natural-born citizen. At the time of the adoption of the U.S. Constitution, under the common law, the terms native born citizen and natural born citizen were synonymous, but. the customary usage was to refer to such type of citizenship as “natural born” Instead of “native born.””
The framers changed the requirement for Commander in Chief of the armed forces from "Citizen" originally, to that of a "Natural Born Citizen" (post grandfather clause) because they wanted the CinC to have undivided allegience (from birth) to the country. It was a matter of national security.

If a child is born in the country, they are native born per the 14th Amendment (which says who may be a "citizen" but mentions nothing about who may be a "natural born citizen" - see Binghams remarks). However, that child may also be born with, by birthright, up to 2 other foreign citizenships. One from the father and one from the mother if they were from different countries. A Natural Born Citizen can not, naturally, have multiple citizenships at birth.
