As governor of the monastery, at the request of other doctors, he forbade Quedlinburg citizens to seek medical treatment from her. He asked Erxleben to take her exam within three months. Erxleben took the doctoral examination on May 6, 1754 and was the first and for a century and a half the only female doctor who was allowed to do a doctorate in Germany and officially practice her profession. She dedicated her dissertation to him as the governor of Quedlinburg.
In 1747 he bought the Eisbergen manor . It served him and his wife as a retirement home.
He was married to Benedicte Sophie Louise née von Hammerstein. Their only son was Friedemann Heinrich Christian Ludwig Freiherr von Schellersheim, who took over the parental inheritance, but later died childless. Valentin George Anton von Massow (* 1740; † June 11, 1786), War and Domain Councilor in Halberstadt , was his son-in-law.
