All were born in the colonies/US. Washington was born in VA.
The first 9 presidents were born on British soil; when the US was 13 colonies. Article II of the Constitution established an exception for these men so they were legally elected. John Tyler, born 1790, was the first president born "in the US." Many cite Martin Van Buren as the first, but he was born in 1782 and the Revolution did not end until 1783.

The first President to be born after the US Constitution was ratified (i.e. the United States existed as a nation) was John Tyler. (11th President). The first president born after independence from Britain was declared was Martin Van Buren (8th President). The first nine presidents were all born in one of the British colonies that united to form the United States and so were British citizens at birth.
