Freda - I'm a descendant of Robert Nairne/Nairn/Nearn through Robert Jr. & Janet Watts. Done what I could and got stumped on the family. I've a guess that Robert Sr. had married a Richie because David Richie left his estate to Robert's sons but have never been able to prove anything. Surname Oliver is a new one by me for Mary, widow of Samuel Layfield.
