Perhaps you should try some spelling variations:
1720 early » 1727 early, 1820 early, 1770 early
2c stephen » c stephen, 22 stephen, 27 stephen
2 stephen » 12 stephen, 22 stephen, 27 stephen
2f early » 24 early, 21 early, 23 early
22 early » 2 early, 12 early, 1722 early
20 early » 10 early, 1820 early
27 1796 » 27 1799, 17 1796, 27 1736
2 1726 » 20 1726, 27 1726, 2d 1726

Try widening your search to All Fields.

You may be able to get more results by adjusting your search query.

• If you are trying to use Boolean operators, they must be ALL CAPS: %22badger%((2c stephen) OR (2 stephen)) %((2 1726) OR (27 1796))-1803 %((((2f early) OR (22 early))) OR (((20 early) OR (1720 early)))) works to 1800%22.
• The words AND, OR and NOT may confuse the search; try adding quotes: "%22badger%((2c stephen) OR (2 stephen)) %((2 1726) or (27 1796))-1803 %((((2f early) or (22 early))) or (((20 early) or (1720 early)))) works to 1800%22".
• Adding a wildcard symbol may retrieve word variants: %22badger%((2c stephen) OR (2 stephen)) %((2 1726) or (27 1796))-1803 %((((2f early) or (22 early))) or (((20 early) or (1720 early)))) works to 1800%22*.
