Jacques was the son of Denyse De Nyse and Teuntje Van Brunt. He was married in Kings County, New York on 10 June 1763 to Ann Schenck, the daughter of Garret Schenck and Jannetje Couwenhoven of Pleasant Valley, New Jersey.
Jacques was a yeoman (farmer) and plagued with financial difficulties. In 1895, Rev. Hugh Smith Carpenter described him as being "considerably of a good spender." It was for this reason, according to Dr. Carpenter, that Jacques' father, DeNyse DeNyse, entrusted his property and papers to his daughters. There is a fairly clear record of the debt trail left by Jacques which has been documented in the book Reminisces of Old New Utrecht and Gowanus by Charlotte Bangs, 1912, pp 43-44.
At least four of the sons of Jacques served from Kings County during the War of 1812. Among his children were:
*DeNyse D., b. 27 April 1764, d. Brooklyn 17 Dec 1847, m. Mary "Polly" Seaburg or Seabury (1762-18 Aug 1849) and apparently m. (2) (pub 1821) Eliza Crocheron; two known children. Denyse was an ensign during the War of 1812.
