'everyone of their children' certainly suggests William and Jane Dunn had multiple children who were, presumably, still living at the time of the quoted Will and the sequence of children baptised to William Dunn as shown in the OPC records would suggest the possibility of just one William Dunn being involved.
Although not recorded in the OPC database there was also a son named Richard baptised at Perranuthnoe in 1611 to William Dunn. This would have been the first child to the Elizabeth Rowe marriage followed by William in 1614.
The Perranuthnoe registers are very hard work but the next baptism I have been able to find at Perranuthnoe appears in 1619 with at least another three up to 1627 and that makes the 1618 baptism at St Erth 'look' like an outsider. There is quite enough time between the events for all to be the product of the one William Dunn however.
The only other contribution I can offer is that if it is indeed the same William Dunn involved then any burial for Elizabeth may be lost through damage to the register. The pages for 1614 through 1616 burials have rather bad fragmentaton down the middle and the filming is so poor as to render much of what survives almost unreadable. (I have not yet been able to locate burials for 1617/18 in the register)
