You know... funny that you mention that tree of Nimrod not being right... because it shows Noah and Nimrod on different sides. Perhaps that isn't a direct descendency chart as we expect, because Noah to Nimrod is known. It's either a different format, or a large inconsistency.
I would love to hear anyone's opinions of these two links.

The Netherlands were an independent country in the 1800’s, before that it was a part of either Germany, or France. Even the people were descendants of the Salian Franks and the Saxons.
The Crest would be a strong indication that he was either a part of the crusades or was there in service to the Kingdom of Jerusalem.

The name of the first is the Pishon; it winds through the entire land of Havilah, where there is gold.
And the name of the second river is Gihon; this is the same that compasses the whole land of Ethiopia.

Usually the granting of such would have been given to either a noble man due to birth or a person who distinguished themselves to the nobility.
So hence I would say the person was probably one who either was on one of the crusades in the Holy lands or had served in the holy lands under the king there.
As the symbols on the crest would be considered to have some religious significance, I would say that the person who wielded it, would have had probably been within the influence of the Holy Roman Emperor at that time frame.
And that area was heavily under the Emperors influence if not his direct control. Back then many counties like that would have sought a powerful ally to keep what they had, or else risk losing to another. ..
As I was pointing out, it was not its own country until the 1800’s when it became a kingdom. And if you look at the time frame, it would have been considered a part of the Holy Roman Empire.
