His step-father's will shows that Alice had a son William Stark. Given that Elias lived in Herne, very close to Hoath (and Chislet), and had children born at least to 1641, so could well have married a woman who had a child in 1647/48, I think the following baptism is William the son of the Alice who married Elias Rowe.
Baptised 12 Mar 1647/48 St. Mary the Virgin Church, Chislet, Kent, England - From PR entry (image on FMP, viewed 3 Aug 2016)
"William the son of Edward and Alyce Stark of Hode bapt: the same day [March the 12th]" - under heading '1647'
A number of baptisms at this time were of children of families 'of Hode' with one recording 'of the p[ar]ish of Hode'. This latter seems to confirm that Hode = Hoath, a neighbouring parish to Chislet, with the replacment of 'th' with 'd' not being uncommon in the past.

Three children known of as mentioned in Alice's next husband's will, but as this was not written until 1670 there could have been others who died before then (as well as possibly ones to whom he did not leave a bequest).

mother consents, as is testified by
Thomas Stephens, s. p., yeom. At

(from Cowper, 3rd series)
William's father had died many years before, presumably the reference to his father means his step-father (William would only have been aged 6 when his mother remarried so his step-father would have been the father-figure for most of his young life).
