 Ramona Armijo was married to Luís C. de Baca of Socorro, New Mexico.According to George Wilkins Kendall, Armijo became wealthy by working for a sheep rancher and stealing and selling the sheep, often to his own employer; but Kendall was writing about his experience as Armijo's prisoner in 1841 and his biographical sketch of Armijo is scurrilous.The historian Marc Simmons ascribes the story of sheep theft to "tradition".
