The earliest recorded use of the phrase "I was not born yesterday" was in a letter written by an R Demere in 1757. Captain Marryat, in his Snarleyyow, published in 1837, uses the phrase and adds "...as the saying is." It's clear, therefore, that it had become virtually a proverb some 200 years ago.
