Alexander Talley
Occupation Pastor, First Methodist Church
Religion Methodist

The Reverend Dr. Alexander Talley was the first pastor of the First Methodist Church of Pensacola.

On December 7, 1821, the Mississippi Conference of the Methodist Church established a mission to Pensacola, and appointed Rev. Dr. Talley as the mission's first pastor. Talley had previously been sent in 1819 as a missionary to Alabama; however, he fell ill after a time and retired to Mount Vernon, Alabama, on the Alabama River, where he practiced medicine.

He served as pastor at the Pensacola mission for approximately a year before retiring again to Mount Vernon, Alabama.
