Joann: A MI County Atlas shows Gilead Township in Branch County on the Indiana border. The Township appears to be about half the normal size of a MI Township, which is usually, but not always, 6 miles on each side. There are two towns on said map in Gilead Township, they are Gilead and East Gilead. The Township is about 6 miles wide and only about three miles high and to the SSW of Coldwater, MI. On its west is Noble Township, roughly 6 miles by three miles, and on its east is Kinderhook Township, also about 6 by 3 miles. There is a Gilead Lake in the NW corner of the Township with the town of Gilead roughly at the NE corner of said lake. That is all I can find on the MI County Atlas. I have no clue as to what it may have been enumerated as on the censuses. Richard L.
