He married Johanna Meyer from Dresden and the marriage had two sons. Alexander died in 1870, Friedrich Nachod later became a businessman, like his father a partner in the bank and - like his father - Vice Consul of the USA in Leipzig.

In 1852 he became a partner in the company, which then traded as Bankhaus Knauth, Nachod & Kühne .
