Life

In 1718, after the death of his father, John Augustus succeeded him in Anhalt-Zerbst.

In Zerbst on 25 May 1702 John Augustus married firstly with Fredericka (b. Gotha, 24 March 1675 - d. Karlsbad, 28 May 1709), daughter of Frederick I, Duke of Saxe-Gotha-Altenburg. They had no children.

In Zerbst on 8 October 1715 John Augustus married secondly with Hedwig Fredericka (b. Weiltingen, 18 October 1691 - d. Zerbst, 14 August 1752), daughter of Frederick Ferdinand, Duke of Württemberg-Weiltingen. Like his first marriage, this union was childless too.

Without issue, with him the elder line of Anhalt-Zerbst became extinct. On his death, John Augustus was succeeded by his cousins, the Princes of Anhalt-Dornburg.
