So many people seem to think that Eto is the very first half ghoul ever and I just don't think that's true.

First, V was extremely upset about Eto's existence as an infant. They wanted to either get rid of her or gain control of her as a helpless infant. I think V is quite well aware of how dangerous half ghouls can become as adults, to me that says they have experience with half ghouls.

Second, again and again in the series we are shown that ghouls and humans can and do have emotional bonds. I can not imagine ghouls being around from at least the 1800's and not having a long history of tragic Romeo and Juliet romances with humans. Some of these romances must have resulted in babies.

Third, this is just my opinion, I don't think it is Ishida's style to have innately super special characters. Instead I feel that Ishida likes to write characters that grow through their own experiences into stronger, better, or more twisted characters. So to me Eto should be someone that starting from a point others have started at grew into a strong, world changing force, who has also become very very crazy.

So these are my reasons for thinking that Eto is not the first ever natural one eyed ghoul.
