Sumario:Felipe Fernández Barragán, along with his father and his son, built a family enterprise that made them members of the elite in the eastern zone of San Luis Potosí province. His father, Gabriel Rufino, established the basis of the family fortune while José Florencio, Felipe’s male heir, enjoyed a high social position in the viceregal sphere. This study exemplifies the scheme of three generations proposed for powerful families in 19th century Latin America, albeit as a transitional family elite.
