The family resided in Dutchess County, New York, across the Hudson River from Kingston. Her father, Arie Roosa, had been one of the grantees in 1686 of a large tract of land in Dutchess County on the banks of the Hudson River opposite Kingston. This land patent of about 1,005 acres is known as the "Arie Roosa Patent."[2]

According to the Winchell Genealogy, after the death of Stephen Winchell (bef 1786), Mary married a man named "Smith." Her grandson "Smith Winchell" was his name sake. (I'm still trying to track down this Mr. Smith.) In any case, she would have been ancient by the time of her third marriage if this was the same Mary Roosa.
I really think this is wrong.
Following up: I checked that source, and didn't find much. I did find a reference to Mary Rouse and Stephen Winchell as parents.
Geni's profile of Mary Roosa gives her parents as different, the brother Jan of Arien Alderts. And even with the 1705 birth on that profile, the 1805 death is extremely late.
So I think mostly likely the Mary who married Winchell must be from a later generation instead.
