The gap in birthdates of the children suggests that the last four might be by a second wife (Patience). A Quaker family record suggests that Patience was the mother of the youngest three, with ambiguity about Howard and Ann (see the 1813 birth record image below).
1813 Mary Ivins, child of Isaac Ivins and Patience Ivins, was born about 1813. [35]
