Janet,
On the first reply is an attached GED file, showing David Hay (b 1738) married to Jane Carmichael (Gros 391/ 0030 0157) and their descendants.
Additionally father to David is Robert (as you stated) who had two other sons Thomas (B. 18 Jan 1741 Gros 391/ 0020 0006) and Alexander (b 24 Jul 1743).
The OPR for these births show for the 3 sons only a listing of the fathers name (not uncommon), however there are also three daughters listed to a Robert & Elizabeth Clark of Rhynd, Anna, Hellen and Margaret (B. 01/03/1730, 03/03/1734 & 16/05/1736 resp.) Whether this is the same Robert, I don't think so, but the dates do run consecutively, Elizabeth is Spelt Clerk under OPR marriages she married a Robert Hay in Rhynd 18 Aug 1727 (gros 391/ 0030 0010).
But there is also listed with OPR a Robert Hay being married to Isabel Scot in Rhynd 19 Dec 1734 (gros 391/ 0030 0057), this marriage seems to me to be the preferred one to connect to the three brothers, and I was unable to find any births allocated to this pairing for that time period.
I will also try and attached the Death entry for Thomas Hay.
