Amy was the eldest child of Carey Gilbert and his wife Elizabeth "Betsy" Reed. She was undoubtedly named after her maternal grandmother Amy Reed.

Amy married John F. Simpson in 1855 when she was 2 months shy of her 16th birthday. She died three years later at age 19. Family lore says she died of smallpox and also had two children. I've not been able to corroborate this.

John Simpson died 23 years and 2 wives later, but is buried next to Amy in the Simpson Cemetery.
