Oakland county. Around 1837 they came to Argentine Township and located
on the northeast corner of Seymour and Silver Lake roads. Halsey served
in the War of 1812. Lewis settled in the vicinity of Lahring and Bird
roads and the road is named after the family. Harmon and his brother
Fred settled in Burns Township and through the years the road was
