As of 1931 his surviving children were recorded as: William (Tuakau), Joseph (Kohekohe), Robert (Waimauku), Walter (Henderson), Mrs. James Hunter (Patumahoe), Mrs Willoughby (Avondale).
Research Notes
Marriage record matched as their daughter Sarah Ann b. 1864 has a matching NZ death record 1865 age 1; and middle name Sloane occurs in their daughter Lillian.

The will mentions wife Nancy Ann and Robert's daughter Gertrude Maud.
A memoriam notice (https://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/newspapers/AS19160805.2.92) appeared in the newspaper "Inserted by Nancy M Glasgow and Gertie". (Maybe the "M" is an audio error for "Ann").

Gertie was not listed as a child in the 1931 news clipping and does not seem to be in NZ BDM Births. Based on her death 1952/19409 age 66 and an 1892 school record, she seems to have been born around 1885. (Mary would have been 51). So perhaps she was illegitimate or adopted (although Nancy testifies in the will that she was Robert's daughter).
