No, I don't think he attended the Constitution Convention.
But George Washington and the nearly half of the Signers of the Constitution who passed the 1790 Naturalization Act certainly did, and they absolutely contradict the idea that they intended for "natural born citizen" to mean what birthers say it meant.
James Madison did. He was called "Father of the Constitution." And he absolutely contradicts your claim that citizenship was simply by jus sanguinis.
And Justice Story certainly knew the law of the early United States - he is one of the foremost experts who did - and he certainly knew the Founding Generation, personally. His father was one of the Sons of Liberty who hosted the Boston Tea Party.
Story himself was appointed to the US Supreme Court by James Madison, where he served for many years with John Marshall, who was himself a Founder.
Story is, in fact, one of the most authoritative and credible voices of the early United States.
And this is what you do. You try to silence the most authoritative voices, or misrepresent them, while elevating non-authorities you think make you stupid case, like Samuel Roberts and David Ramsay.
He is, like MOST of the people you cite, not a member of the group who deliberated it, and in fact came along AFTER THE FACT. As is common with the people you always cite, his opinion is "hear say" and speculation, not first hand knowledge.
And this from the guy whose prime authorities are David Ramsay - not a member of the inner circle or Constitutional Convention, not a legal expert, who was voted down 36 to 1 by those in the know including James Madison; John Bingham who was a CONGRESSMAN two entire GENERATIONS after the Constitution was written; Samuel Roberts who didn't even represent the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania (wow, were THEY at the Convention?), and the like.
Do you even understand how twisted, convoluted and self-contradictory your own positions are?
Trained by William Lewis, a Pennsylvania legislator during the ratification of the Constitution.

Jasper Yeates took the Notes for the Pennsylvania Ratifying convention. Yeah, I think he knows what the **** he is talking about.
