How many Senators were born out of state?

In the Davidson chapter and in class, we discussed the advantages of candidates with deep roots in the states they represent and how "carpetbaggers" make for less attractive candidates. However, I was surprised to find that 48% (48) were born out of state, four of which were born outside of the country. While many of these candidates families moved soon after their birth, it's still an interesting figure.
