  If Lauren is from
Pennsylvania, he may a direct descendant of Major General
Arthur St Clair who from 1779 lived at Plattstown and, latterly, at
Chestnut Ridge
where he died on August 31st, 1818.

I note from the "St Clairs of the Isles" a Laura in the
General's descendants but not a Lauren
which is not surprising at the "St Clairs of the Isles" only
takes us up to the middle of the
19th Century which is well before Lauren's likely date of birth or indeed
the 'birth' of Stanford
University (1891) which Lauren so ably represents on the sports
field.

We need to know more about this high hitting St Clair.
