I first successfully identified a path to him as a direct ancestor not through LaPortes, but through my father's maternal grandparent's lines. Both Rocks were descended from Philibert Couillaud, who married one of Jacques' daughters, Catherine LaPorte.
Since then, I have persuasively established the connection through the LaPortes after a long pause at my 3GRGR because of his use and his parents use of the last name "Denis" for a period of years.
Recently, as I've been filling in ancestral gaps in my French Canadian lines, I just found another line (giving me three total that go back to him). This latest is through his daughter Suzanne (b. 1676 d. 1743). Suzanne married a man named Pierre Menard (b. abt 1672 d. 1743) (not this Pierre Menard), son of Pierre Menard St Onge.
Pierre Menard is my 8th Great Grandfather.

So, through Pierre Menard and Suzanne LaPorte, Jacques is my 9th Great Grandfather. Through the LaPorte side, though, he is my 8th Great Grandfather (through Philibert Couillaud and Catherine LaPorte, he is also my 9th Great Grandfather). I would NOT be surprised if there are other paths to Jacques.
