She married Colin Campbell, 3rd Earl of Argyll, son of Archibald Campbell, 2nd Earl of Argyll and Lady Elizabeth Stuart, before 28 February 1506/7. She married Duncan Stewart, younger of Appin, son of Alan Stewart, 3rd of Appin and unknown daughter Cameron, after 1529.
As a result of her marriage, Jean Gordon was styled as Countess of Argyll on 9 September 1513. From after 1529, her married name became Stewart.[1]

I suspect Duncan married a much younger sister; some sources suggest Jennette, born around 1495, some suggest another Jean (Janet) born in 1500. It is quite possible for a family to have two children with the same name.
After researching Jean Gordon further {see http://thepeerage.com/p2207.htm#i22062 the peerage), Jean could not have been born in 1500 and married in 1506/7 to first husband, Colin Campbell. Also Huntly was not her lnab but part of her father's title Alexander Gordon, 3rd Earl of Huntly. If these facts can be agreed upon, then a merge should take place.
