Hi, Robert Tait and Janet Graham had FIVE sons in all. One of them was my great, great, great grandfather Alexander Hay Tait (b. abt.1790 Berwick) who became a master blacksmith moving with his wife Elizabeth Forsyth (b. Roxburgh) from Berwick to Wick in Caithness.  In 1841 His father Robert Tait, a widower, was living with Alexander and Elizabeth in Wick.  Alexander and Elizabeth's daughter, Mary Tait, married John Macdonald, also a blacksmith.  Their daughter Jane Paterson Macdonald married John Johnston, master plumber who were parents of my grandmother, Catherine Isabella Johnston and they lived in Kirkwall on Orkney. The gravestone of Alexander Hay Tait and Elizabeth Tait lies in Old Cemetery, Wick.  So James, Robert, Andrew and William were my great, great, great uncles! Alexander Hay Tait was first son of Robert Tait and Janet Graham.
