Who is the last known non-natural US citizen who would have been eligible for the Presidency?

Question

The United States Constitution states (relevant part highlighted): > No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a **Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution**, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty-five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States. As the title states, who is the last known person to have been eligible for the Presidency without having been born a US citizen?

Answer 1

That would depend if you are talking about July 4,1776 when we declared our independence or when the Treaty of Yorktown was singed ending the Revolutionary War on September 3,1783. If you go by the early date then William Henry Harrison would have been a non-natural born citizen born on February 9th 1773. However if you are going by the Treaty of Yorktown's date then the answer would be Martin Van Buren born on December 5, 1782.
