Of his four successful in the Prussian, Russian and Saxon State service descendants acquired the earldom in the 18th century. Of these four Counts lines, there are still two, but there are still a baronial line.

Johann Gebhard von Keyserling was Prussian minister and was built in 1744 collected by Frederick II in the Prussian nobility. The Keyserling family granted Immanuel Kant a job at her castle Waldburg- Capustigall and gave him access to higher society of East Prussia.
