I have done some research. The only name (that I found) that fits the time frame and the coat of arms is Konstanty Zakrzewski (1811 - 1884), a writer, cultural activist. Born 11 February 1811 in Gutow (old Pleszew County).
During the November Uprising of 1830 against the Russians he served in Kaliski Regiment and was an adjutant to Gen. J.N. Umiński.
Recieved Virtuti Militari cross for the battle of Olszynka Grochowska.
I guess it is something to go on. I would love to be able to confirm this possible attribution.
