Hi Lorraine, I had a look on the NSW Department of Lands web-site http://parishmaps.lands.nsw.gov.au/pmap.html and found a William Morgan occupying 80 acres at Yaralla Bay, Concord. The image ID for this map is 14094902. Unfortunately there is no date for the map so I don't know how much help it will be to you, but it does look fairly early.
