Do you think it might be Ann Willoughby living with him in 1820 and that accounts for the other children?

I think the extra children are illegitimate children or other children of his mistress. Elizabeth See became a widow in 1813 and had taken up with Benjamin, descendants of this family had long been aware of the relationship, One child in 1816 was born after her husband's death and possibly more.
