Notice biographique
Henry Sadleir was born in Tipperary, Ireland in 1796, and first came to Kingston as a British Officer in 1817. He married Martha Herchmer of Kingston and after tours of duty elsewhere returned to live in Kingston in 1837. They had three children Charles Anderson Sadleir, Jane Anderson Daleir and Martha Herchmer Sadleir. Although settling in Kingston, Henry Sadleir continued to hold an interest in Irish affairs for the rest of his life.
In Kingston Sadleir was active in the Militia, St. George's Church, municipal affairs (he served as an alderman) and on friendly enough terms with Sir John A. MacDonald to be asked for a loan.
Controversy however, loomed large in Sadleir's life. He frequently changed residences - at one time living at Heathfield; in 1848 he took part in a duel (neither participant was killed); and there were problems with his children and their respective marriages resulting in Sadleir calling in a note he held on his son-in-law William Allan Geddes and having his daughter Jane's household furnishings sold.
After carefully writing his will in April 1860, appointing Thomas Kirkpatrick and the Rev. Edward Bower of Barriefield as executors, Sadleir shot himself.
Historique de la conservation
This sous-fonds forms part of the Kirkpatrick-Nickle legal collection. The documents came from the law firm of Nickle and Nickle, which was founded by Thomas Kirkpatrick in 1828, and which continued under various names (Kirkpatrick Nickle) and with various partners until 1968. The Sadleir estate papers were deposited, along with the papers of other clients of the firm, in Queen's University Archives during the 1960's.
Portée et contenu
This sous-fonds includes correspondence with Sadleir's brothers Nicholas and William concerning the family property in Scalaheen, Tipperary, financial and legal documents pertaining to the estate, a floor plan for Heathfield, militia papers, and reports from the Trust and Loan Company of Upper Canada.
