SOURCE- Walrod Family Tree, 1942 =================================Byers Homestead The first European to settle in what would become Commerce Township was New Yorker Abram Walrod. Like many of the settlers that later followed him, Walrod used the Erie Canal as an artery into the Great Lakes region. In 1825, Walrod erected a small settlement on the banks of the Huron River. This site (today known as the Byers Homestead) served as the epicenter of Commerce’s early years. SOURCE-http://michiganhistory.leadr.msu.edu/a-history-of-commerce-township/early-years/ The first permanent settlement effected was by Abram Walrod, who came in May, 1825, from the State of New York, and settled on section 10, in which Commerce village is now situated. He built a plain log house on the lot now occupied by William Till, and lived in it for two or three years and then moved into one of the counties in the western part of the State. He was said to have been a worthy and industrious person.
