Jacques' younger brother, Jean-Baptist Charles Gabriel Dubuc (d. 1819), was also a clockmaker, and the two were distinguished by the designations of "le jeune" (the younger) and "l'ainé" (the elder). The Parisian clockmaker Nicolas-Pierre-Francois Dubec, was active in Paris from the final years of the reign of Louis XVI to the early years of the Empire (see Tardy Dictionnaire des horlogers francais Paris, 1971, p 193)
