Wanted Notices Offer "Rewards" to Researchers.

As researchers, we are always searching for more information about our ancestors.  I've noticed that particularly in the early 1800s there were notices or advertisements offering rewards for the capture or information about military deserters.  These notices give descriptions:--build, clothing and habits.   It might not be where you would prefer to find your ancestor, but It could be the only time that you will get a detailed physical description in that time period.  I couldn't help but be amused by the description of Martin Seabine.
