Buckle identification needed

My soon to be bride dug this iron buckle at an 1860 abandoned church yard in Missouri. Can anyone ID it? Pics taken after electrolysis. Thanks!

It is a drive chain link off of farm equipment like a manure spreader.

Yep. No doubt that's what that piece is.

So, not a buckle at all. Thanks!
