After they married they lived on the Spaarne at the spot where the house number 47 exists today. The couple moved to Leiden in 1642 where they lived on the Rapenburg at (today's) number 14 until 1652. By this time Boudewijn had become a merchant in stone and in 1652 he moved again with his family to Bentheim, where he died a year later and was mentioned in the death register as a stein händler who died of elefantiasi. The disease elephantiasis was rare, so it is possible that he was just fat, as his second portrait by Hals shows him to be considerably fatter than the first, though he was only 37 at that time. After he died, his wife and two sons moved to Oldenzaal, where his son Maximiliaan became a magistrate and his son Petrus became mayor.
