His parents were Vincente Ferrer Duran de Armijo (1746-1806) and Maria Barbara Casilda Duran y Chaves (1753-1798). His home was constructed of adobe some time before 1840. Legend says that the Armijo Family had a home on this site dating back to 1706 and was therefore one of the first homes in Albuquerque. The home is in the classic placita style, developed for defense against raiding by nomadic native americans. It is now the "Patio Markets" area in Old Town Albuquerque. Through the marriage of Juan Nepomuceno Armijo and Maria Rosalia Ortega, a daughter of Juan Ygnacio Cristobal de Ortega, lands in Los Poblanos first came into possession of the Armijos.

He and his wife had the following children: Nestor Armijo ( ? - ? ), Juan Cristobal Armijo (1810-1884), Maria Manuela Armijo Chaves (~1812- ? ), Ambrosio Armijo (1817-1882), Gregoria Justo Armijo (1824- ? ), and Antonio Jose Leonardo Armijo (1828- ? ).
