Don't think this is the same one...I don't have a birthdate for son Robert, but supposedly William was second after Mary, and William was born in 1818, making 1805 unlikely for Robert.
I don't know as far a spouse, but a possibility may be Lavina Mitchel...I found a record of a wedding in Howard, NY around the right era of a Fanny Stewart, whose birthdate matches up pretty well to where it ought to be, the daughter of John Stewart and Lavina Mitchel.Stewart was a fairly common name in the area, and John and Fanny were pretty common, too, but there can't have been too many people in Howard...it can't be more than a couple of hundred now.
Anyway, good luck...I'll keep you posted if I see anything that looks like it might apply to you.
