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.
