In 1851, Gordon succeeded to his father's title. He became also 13th laird of Knockespock.[3] The lairdship was under an entail, and he inherited it on the 1854 death of James Adam Gordon.[3][5]
Gordon died suddenly, at Blackhall, Kincardineshire, in 1876.[5] At his death, the baronetcy of Gordon of Northcourt became extinct.[6]
In 1839 Gordon married Lady Mary Agnes Blanche Ashburnham, daughter of George Ashburnham, 3rd Earl of Ashburnham and Charlotte Ashburnham.[3] They had a daughter, Mary Charlotte Julia Gordon (died 1926): she married General Robert William Disney Leith (1819–1892). She was a writer and translator, publishing as Mrs. Disney Leith.[5][7]
Gordon was an engraver. He produced joint work with his sister, Julia Emily Gordon.[8]
