Pingry/Pengry connection to Robert the immigrant

There seems to be quite a debate on the wives of Robert Day.We accept that Mary was his first wife, from the ELIZABETH crossing to Ipswich, MA.
I have two others... Hannah Pingry and Edith Stebbins.Both are shown with children; John, Thomas, and Sarah, but the dates are about 10 years off.
Robert Day's Last Will is posted here:

The Will lists all the children, but NO wife, so presumably, whoever he was married to at the time of its writing, she was deceased.
Another MAJOR flaw is that many people have Robert Day dying in 1648, yet the Will was written in 1683~~! There are no children named Robert, so this HAS to be our Robert, right?
Any input would be greatly appreciated!
