In 1408 Sir John Gordon, last in the male line of the Gordons of Huntly and Strathbogie, was succeeded by his sister Elizabeth, who in that year married Sir Alexander Seton. [Huntly Castle, p. 5]
BURR LINE
In 1405 a fortunate marriage between Elizabeth Gordon and Alexander Seton brought the lands of Strathbogie together with the Seton's Berwickshire domains as well as Aboyne, Glenmuick and Glentanar from a Cluny connection. Elizabeth's uncle 'Old Sir John' was the first Gordon to control Strathbogie from Huntly, and his sons, Jock of Scurdargue and Tam of Ruthven, were progenitors of all the other Gordon families in the northeast whose descent is traceable from that time.
