Presidential Eligibility and the Louisiana Purchase

I have wondered this for some time- would a man, such as Jean-Pierre Chouteau, who was living in Louisiana Territory at the time of purchase, be eligible for the Presidency? I ask this because of the weird Constitutional wording, which gave "natural-born" citizenship to everyone in the US at the time of its adoption.

Would that same wording apply to individuals in Louisiana Territory? Or would the be considered "naturalized" citizens, and thus be ineligible?

It's a strange question, I know.
 
"In the case of Gibson v. Wood, 105 Ky. 740, 49 S.W. 768, the court had under consideration a provision of the city charter of Louisville requiring certain officers of the city to have resided in the city three years preceding their election. The officer involved in the case had resided for more than three years in the suburb of Enterprise, which was annexed to the city within three years of the election.

[[Orig. Op. Page 3]]

In discussing the question, the court referred to the requirement of the Federal Constitution that only a natural born citizen or a citizen of the United States at the time of the adoption of the Constitution should be eligible to the office of president, saying:

"* * * Can it be claimed that a person born in the republic of Texas prior to its admission into the Union is ineligible to the presidency of the United States for that reason? We do not believe such a construction can be reasonably contended for."
