Samuel Chandler, (1693-1766), nonconformist divine, was born in 1693, educated at Bridgewater, and afterwards under Samuel Jones at Gloucester, where he was the fellow-pupil of Bishop Butler and Archbishop Seeker. He finished his studies at Leyden, and in 1716 was chosen minister of the presbyterian congregation at Peckham. The loss of his wife's fortune in the South Sea scheme forced him to open a bookshop. He was an industrious writer, and took part in many controversies as a defender of toleration and of the christian rationalism of the day.
