Joann: I found Gilead Township on the 1850, 1860, 1900 and 1920 census under Branch County for the State of Michigan. On the 1870 census it is probably what Ancestry transcribed as "Gilcad". On the 1880 census it is probably "Giles and Noble" Townships. On the 1930 census it is probably "Gilcad," which is likely a transcription error by the same data extractor that did 1870. I could not find Gilead, or a facsimile, on the 1910 census. I hope this helps!
