This doesn’t wash as those children were born either prior to or during the revolutionary period while under the Articles of Confederation. They were born prior to the US Constitution, therefore, those children would have fallen under the grandfather clause because at the time of the adoption of the US Constitution, they were already citizens. “Natural born” only pertains to children born after Sept 27, 1789.
