Samuel Scattergood, 16461696, was entered at Trinity College, Cambridge, on 20 May 1662, and was admitted a scholar on 29 April 1664, at the same time as Sir Isaac Newton (Trin. Coll. Registers). He graduated B.A. in 1665, M.A. in 1669, and in the same year was elected a fellow of his college. In 1669, like his father, he was incorporated at Oxford on the opening of the Sheldonian Theatre. In the same year a Greek poem by him on the death of Queen Henrietta Maria was printed in Threni Cantabrigienses, Cambridge, 1669. He took holy orders, and preached at Newmarket on 2 April 1676. The sermon was published 'by his Majestie's special command'. It is not reprinted in his Collected Sermons.
