Catalogue Note
Les armes sont très probablement celles de la famille Oursin, de Normandie, seigneurs de la Chapelle en Serval, dans l'Oise, près de Chantilly. Ce plat a probablement appartenu à Jean Oursin, receveur général des Finances de La Rochelle, puis de Caen. Il acquiert des biens à Chantilly et un hôtel à Senlis. Près de Caen, il fait assécher des marais sur la paroisse qui prend le nom de Saint-Pierre-Oursin. Il meurt le 15 juin 1746 à l'âge de 82 ans. Il avait épousé Françoise Allan dont il eût cinq enfants ; leurs trois filles devinrent marquise de Ricouart d'Hérouville, comtesse de Pommereu et comtesse de Grouches-Chépy.
