The answer I have to your question is not exact. I got it from the record of the genealogy of the Smack and Jayne families of New York that my great grandfather had published. It states that the ancestors of Christian, Stephen, Edgar and Elijah (my great great grandfather) Smack originally came from Holland, but the ancestor's arrival in New York is not positively known, but it was between the year 1750 and 1780. Please see the 2 pages I attached. If you would like a copy of this booklet, I have a few copies and can mail you one (free of charge). Hope this was of help to you.
