Now, in order for her to inherit, she had to agree to marry a male of Gordon blood who would agree to carry the Gordon name for himself as well as his heirs.

She wasted no time in marrying Alexander Seton of Winton, their line becoming the Seton-Gordons. We are fortunate to have a proven descendant of this line in our test group to validate our own testing. This family, while not as large in numbers as the family of Jock and Tam is just as prominent in our research of the ancestral Gordon lines.

The direct male Gordon line ended with Sir Adam's great‐grandson and name sake, who  fell at the battle of Homildon Hill in 1402, leaving a daughter Elizabeth, who married  Alexander Seton, second son of  Sir W. Seton of Winton.  Her son Alexander assumed the  name of Gordon, and was created Earl of Huntly in 1449.

Sir Alexander Setoun, second son to William first Lord Setoun, was married to Elizabeth, daughter of Sir Adam Gordon, and heiress of that ancient family; and the noble families of Gordon and Huntly trace their descent from that marriage. The immediate issue of this marriage still kept the sir name of Setoun, even when created Lords Gordon and Earls of Huntly, and gave the preference also to the Setoun arms; and it was only eventually that they exclusively adopted the sir name of Gordon, although retaining the former bearing as their descendants continue to do. George Setoun, second Earl of Huntly, Lord Gordon, married the Princess Annabella, daughter of James I, by whom he had several children, of whom numerous descendants among the Scottish nobility exist at this day.

From the Peerage.com:
Sir Alexander Seton was the son of Sir William de Seton and Janet Fleming.

He married Elizabeth Gordon, daughter of Sir Adam Gordon of that Ilk and Elizabeth Keith, from 27 March 1408 to 20 July 1408.2 He died between 31 August 1440 and 3 April 1441 at Strathbogie, Scotland.

Sir Alexander Seton gained the title of Lord of Huntly. He gained the title of Lord of Gordon. On 20 July 1408 he was confirmed in the lands of Gordon and Huntly, which he acquired through his wife.2 Circa 1437 Burkes states he was doubtfully created a Lord of Parliament as Lord Gordon.
