The Reverend Dr. '''Henry P. Cook''' was the third pastor of the [[First Methodist Church]] of Pensacola.
Born in [[1800]] in Hancock County, Georgia, Cook converted to Methodism at the age of seventeen while attending a camp meeting near Sparta, Georgia. At the age of 20, he entered the travelling ministry. Prior to his appointment to the Pensacola mission he worked in Whitesand, Mississippi (near modern-day Prentiss), Opelousas, Louisiana, and Tombeckbee (Fort Tombecbe), Alabama. In December of [[1823]] he was appointed to the Pensacola mission, where he served until his death of yellow fever in the fall of [[1825]].<ref>Hoskins, [http://fulltext10.fcla.edu/DLData/WF/WF00000044/file10.pdf p. 20].</ref>
