| Shared note | My great aunt Mabel, whom I knew well, was the person who did the research on the Lawrence family. She claimed to have traced the lineage back to a John Lawrence who was the first to plant the flag on the battlements during the siege of Acre in King Richard the Lion-hearted's Crusade, and for this feat he was knighted by the King. From 1910 to 1934 she operated the Miss Evans School of Individual Instruction in St. Louis. She never married. She graduated from Washington University in St. Louis in 1893 magna cum laude with a Ph. B. She taught at Smith Academy from 1893 until 1904. |
