The family line Verduijn (also Duyn or Duynen) is one of the oldest family lineages of the Village Charlois, nowadays a town in the district of Rotterdam. In 1632 there were 137 houses in Charlois and it was called "a fancy built village among splendid meadows and corn fields."
The description of the Verduijn weapon (coat of arms) is as follows: 2 pikes (fish) on top of each other of silver on a blue field (background). Helmteken: een vlucht met uitkomende snoek. Crest: standing up is a pike (fish) in flight. Dit wapen komt voor op een gedenksteen in de kerktoren van Charlois (zie grafzerken etc. in de kerken van Zuid-Holland door Mr. PC Bloys van Treslong Prins) en op de grafzerk van kleinzoon Wouter Hendricks Verduijn en echtgenote. This coat of arms is found on a plaque in the church tower of Charlois (see tombstones etc. in the churches of South Holland by Mr. Bloys of PC Treslong Prince) and the tomb of Wouter Hendricks Verduijn's grandson and his wife (see picture named Wouter Hendricks Verduijn Coat of Arms .
