an 18th century iron fob or wax seal pendant,
known as a SWIVEL, with triple matrix, a scrollwork frame and
a central clutch to push down to hold the to be used matrix in place,
we see:
a conjugal coat of arms, for a marriage
I. a castle with towers and reversed flags / vanes of the family
Van den Bergh / Berch
II. a bend between two escallops of the family
Cock
for the marriage in 1746 of
Pieter Van den Bergh (1708-1783) and Johanna Hadewich Cock (1702-1768)
no children documented
or
Jan Van den Bergh (1707-1737) and Adriana Geertruid Cock (1705-1734)
their daughter, Cornelia Helena Van den Bergh (1733-1741), died at the age of 8
Pieter and Jan were sons of
Isaac Van den Bergh (1677-1728) and Cornelia van Leeuwen (1675-1753)
Johanna Hadewich Cock and Adriana Geertruid Cock were daughters of
Mattheus Cock and Hendrica Cornelia Bouman,
and perhaps the above: no children and early deaths, might explain the empty third matrix
a coat of arms, quarterly with inescutcheon
I. Van den Bergh - a castle with towers and reversed flags / vanes
III. Crucius - per fess in green a lamb, also refered to as a cow and a cross pattee
for mothers side of Isaac Van den Bergh:
Sara Crucius (1651-1687)
she married in 1675 with Christoffel Van den Bergh (1639-1719)
Crucius is also documented as: Kruisius, Crutius, de la Croix
IV. Reijnders / Reynders - in gold, a double headed eagle
for mothers side of Cornelia van Leeuwen:
Anna Reijnders (1645-1699) married with Jan van Leeuwen
V. in blue / Azure two crossed swords
in Holland we found this coat of arms for: Riebeeck / Riebeek,
We think it might be derived from the coat of arms / armoirie / blason of
Jean de la Cour, seigneur De Buisson et vicomte de Caen or
the blason of Buisson de Champigny en France-Comte,
in Holland the French name De Buisson et de la Caen was probably written as
Debuissonet de la Cane
we found documented:
Maries des Marquis de Buissonet de la Cane (1599-1669),
she married in 1617 with Isaac van den Berch (1595-1665)
as supporters two lions rampant regardant
and topped with a five leaf crown
and beneath it all a ribbon with a small face,
the third matrix is vacant / empty
