Jacques D'Arc, born 1380 and died 1431, was a free laborer of Domremy born at Ceffonds, near Montier, in Des (upper Marne).

The Chamber of Accounts, in France, registered the family's designation to nobility on 20 January 1430. Jacques D'Arc de Lys and Jacques D'Arc du Lys are the most common forms of his name with such symbol appended.

Jacques' occupation was as a farmer who owned about 50 acres of land - 30 acres of pasture, 10 acres of cropland, and 10 acres of forest. He served as "doyen" of Domremy.

The people of Domremy, being within the Barrois region, spoke what is usually referred to as the "Lorraine" dialect of French, rather than the Parisian dialect which has since become standard in modern times.
