It looks as if the Amy Smith references are only found in James Riker's Annals. I wonder what that is about as it wouldn't have come from thin air. Would there have been any reason he would have confused another Amy or even another of the Berriens?
Also for the wikitree page Amy Scudder Smith, the Scudder appears to have been added at a different time, or perhaps conflated with another Amy Scudder. Where did you find the Scudder portion?
Here is the reference for the marriage on Amy's page in the context of the church records:
Records of the First church in Huntington, Long island, 1723-1779

There is not a lot of Roe information there.
I am not a Roe descendant, I am a Halsey descendant. I do know a small amount about the Roe families. Several of the New York Roe families and branches have detailed work published about them.
A portion of John Roe of Brookhaven, Long Island and some of his descendants : a record of six generations, by Clarence Almon Torrey is here:
http://longislandgenealogy.com/TorreyRoe/RoeTranscript.htm
John and Jemima's children are on page 7.
Clarence Almon Torrey was a Roe descendant and wrote several books untangling different branches specifically of the New York Roe families.
Following the marriage link on Amy's wiki page to FamilySearch, I see the two sisters Ann and Amy are being conflated, among other things. (Such as John Roe's father's three wives being conflated into one woman.)
I did a quick search at NYGB, and there was nothing different than what I just posted. (Except for links to John's father's will.) Probably there is more at the Record incidentally in other articles and maybe at TAG since Clarence Almon Torrey also wrote there.
