Have you tried looking in the 1850 US federal Census for Benjamin as a 10yr old with his father and mother in Ohio in that census? I see you say in 1850 he might be living w/an Armstrong family, but did you check all variations of Spencer to see if perhaps he still was with his Own family, but mis-spelled---such as Spence, or Spender, or Spenser, etc?
Also since he named a male child Charles Hughs Spencer--check in 1850 for a head of household named either of those as first names--as often children name their own kids After their own parents' names.
Hope these ideas help.
