He had a son named Leopold August (1705–1774), who worked as a teacher and organist at the Ratzeburg city ​​school . He married Anna Sophia Vanselau (1711–1752), with whom he had five children, including Ernst Leopold (1740–1807). He was the first known person in the family to move to Dithmarschen and married twice. He had 18 children who were the ancestors of the bearers of the surname who still live in Dithmarschen. Ernst Leopold Griebel worked as a higher court and government lawyer in Meldorf. His first marriage was to a woman from the large Johannsen family, from which many officials from Norder- and Süderdithmarschen came. He concluded a second marriage in 1789 with Margaretha Boeckmann (1766-1845), whose father was the Meldorfer bank director Matthias Boeckmann.
