John Milton looks for his father, Dick Richardson, brother Edward, sisters Lucy and Polly, who were formerly enslaved by Mason Anderson. He is searching for his uncle John Anderson and his wife Fanny Anderson.
See: The Huntsville Journal, February 28, 1896 (https://informationwanted.org/lastseen312//items/show/3398), and The Huntsville Journal, April 20, 1900 (https://informationwanted.org/lastseen312/items/show/3188). The man who placed those two ads is almost definitely the "John Milton" who placed this ad in 1866. It seems he went by John Milton/Milton Anderson/John Milton Anderson at different points and was still searching for his father, brother, and sister 30 years later.
