Felipe Conde was born in 1811 in Béjar ( San Antonio ), in what was at the time the province of Texas. Father Miguel Hidalgo had just started Mexico's independence movement the previous September, with his "grito de Dolores". Felipe's parents were Antonio Conde and Monica Juarez. Antonio Conde was an Indian Blacksmith from the mission of San Juan Capistrano.

The family appears in the 1830 census, Texas now part of the state of Coahuila in an independent Mexico, but only six years before Texas would declare it's own independence from Mexico.
Antonio and Monica's family consisted of:
 Felipe being the eldest, followed by Maria Antonia age 13, Jose Antonio age 9, Ramona age 8, Polonia age 7, and Pascual age 3. Felipe married Maria Paz de Luna around 1831, we have identified five children so far, the eldest being a son, Fehlo (?) who was born in 1832. A daughter, Encarnación was born nine years later in 1841, followed by Santa Ana in 1842. Another son, Antonio was born in 1845 and Teresa in 1848.

It is not know if there may have been other children in the nine year span between 1832 and 1841 that may not have survived past infancy. The family was still in Texas in 1850, appearing in that year's census in the Medina River settlement.
The 1850 census was the first for Texas as a state of the United States.

Felipe and Paz were officially married in the church of San Fernando de Bexar on August 26, 1851, which is odd since thay had all of their children by this time.

In December of 1859, Felipe Conde and his family were among a group of settlers from San Antonio, led by captain Manuel Leal, who founded the mexican settlement of Resurrección on the junction of the Rio Grande and the Rio San Diego. That settlement became the present-day town of Jiménez, Coahuila.

Fehlo disappears from the records of Jiménez, it is probable that he may have stayed behind in Texas, or perhaps may have passed away. In 1864, three years after large Indian attack on the settlement, Rumualdo Martínez, chief justice of Resurrección, and nephew of Felipe Conde, petitioned the governor of Coahuila to summon the mayors of the surrounding towns and villages to send more settlers, promising land titles to those who would move to Resurrección.

The previous year, on February 10th, 1863, Felipe's daughter Santa Ana, married Ursulo de Hoyos of Morelos, Coahuila. They were married in the church of Zaragoza, Coahuila. Ursulo age 23, was the son of Carlos de Hoyos, one of the original founders of Morelos, Coahuila, and Juana Gomez.

In January of 1870 titles of ownership were issued to the seventy six heads of families. Santa Ana and her husband Ursulo, were also living in Resurrección by this time, appearing quite often in the records afterwards.

In 1875 the repopulated settlement was elevated to the category of Villa, and renamed Jiménez, in honor of one of the leaders of Mexico's war of Independence, Mariano Jiménez.
At 4:00 a.m. on the 14th of December 1877, Felipe Conde died due to kidney failure. He was sixty six. He was buried in the village cemetery. A street in Jiménez named "Conde" is thought to be named in honor of him.
