Pressly, John T. (John Taylor), 1795-1870

 
Pressly was born in South Carolina and pastored there after receiving a degree from Transylvania University in Lexington, Kentucky. His time in Appalachia took place in Allegheny City, Pennsylvania (now Pittsburgh) from 1831 to 1870, when he served both a pastor and professor at Allegheny Theological Seminary (now Pittsburgh Theological Seminary). His publications include An Inquiry into the Principles of Church Fellowship (Pittsburgh: United Presbyterian Board of Publication, 1865) and a response to a Baptist pastor who had criticized his lectures on baptism.

Additional information can be found in a Biographical Sketch published at covenanter.org, a website with materials relating to the Reformed Presbyterian Church.
