Around 1766 he married Johanna Elisabetha Louisa (Johanne Ludovika) von Gebhard, widow of the Prussian colonel and owner of the Grimme estate in Anhalt, Georg Dietrich von Bredow. His wife was born on July 6, 1727 in Bernburg (Saale) as the last of eight children of the Conrector in Bernburg Johannes Gebhardt and Margaretha Jacobe Lange and died on October 24, 1801 in Wagenitz in the Havelland . In 1753, at the instigation of von Bredow, she was ennobled in order to enable marriage among peers.
