The William H. I have is listed in the 1880 census with his father and some
siblings:

Census Place: District 46, District 1173 And 1194, Mitchell, Georgia

Brazilton MORGAN Self M W W 65 GA

William H. MORGAN Son M S W 20 GA

Sallie MORGAN Dau F S W 18 GA

Do you know your William's father's name? Maybe this William H. could be your
William's father.
He was unmarried in 1880.

Sallie, his sister, married one of my Chambliss relatives and I know they had strong
ties to Sumter county. Sallie and her husband were in Waynesboro, MS much of their
lives and died there. She named one son William Morgan Chambliss.

If you could find your father's birth certificate, it may show Leila's maiden name.

Hope this might help somehow.
