Michael FOLAND Jr. was born in Rockingham County, Virginia, on January 14, 1820, the son of Michael Sr. (1794-1834) and Catherine or Christina (ZIMMER/ZIMMERS) FOLAND. Catherine was the daughter of Michael (1738-1792) and Catharina ZIMMERS.
Michael's mother died around the year 1823 when he was about three-years-old. Michael Sr. married second to Catherine/Katherine SEMNER or SUMMER or SOMNER. Shortly after this marriage, the family moved to Rane County, Indiana.
There has been quite a bit of confusion with regard to Michael Jr.'s mother. Her name and the name of his step-mother have been interchanged in many genealogies and historical records. Michael's father, Michael Sr., died when he was fourteen-years-old. Because he lost both parents at an early age, his memory and recollection over the years probably wasn't much assistance in the matter. Michael and his step-sister, Phillepine "Phoebe" SEMNER were listed as orphans, August 18, 1834. John FISHER was appointed by the court as their guardian.
Michael's paternal grandfather, Johann "Valentine" FOLAND (1756 - 1811) served through the American Revolutionary War. It is believed that he served in the Virginia Regiment.
