I found researchers who had Reverend Joshua Thompson Russell's wife and descendants, but not his ancestors. I did find confirmation that he was bornin CT.

The deceased was born in Warren County in 1833, She was married in 1859 to Joshua T Russell, at Yazoo City, where she lived for more than forty years.
