My first thought is a plate off of a Kentucky Rifle.

That looks like a m1816 Springfield (and contractors) lock plate, you can still see where the flash pan was cut off

Let’s hope this photo up loads
This is a picture on my m1816 made by R. Johnson, Middleton Connecticut 1830, still shoots like a dream!!

It does look like an 1816 Springfield... If you can, please post some pics of both sides cleaned up a bit, sometimes the difference between two similar lock plates can be as little as the position of the screw holes.

That sure looks like it! Here are a few more photos, best I could do without electrolysis.
