A good resource to look up buttons is this: google george washington innaugeral buttons. Your larger button looks similar to an 1830s naval officers button but it's not a an exact match.

Smaller button maybe not American? Or not military? Larger button I’m not sure about either. Great finds though! I will try to find a two piece with that image for the larger one...
 
Both are civilian fashion buttons. The clues to the eagle being fashion are the missing back which has corroded away, the lack of detail in the eagles body and the anchor eye not extending to the rope border. The first button is a generic "family crest" one.
