This branch of the Sadleir family descend from Richard Sadlier, seventh son of Clement Sadlier of BaIlintemple, county Tipperary. Richard's grandson, also named Richard, bought Scalaheen House and in 1783, married his cousin Grace, daughter of Nicholas Sadleir of Golden Garden, county Tipperary. They had five sons, Richard, Nicholas, James, Henry and William who lived at Scalaheen and Brookville. In the mid 19th century Nicholas Sadlier held an estate in the barony of Clanwilliam, county Tipperary, mainly located in the parishes of Templeneiry and Clonpet, but also in the parishes of Clonbeg, Clonbullogue, Cordangan and Tipperary. Nicholas Sadlier also held land in the parish of Donohill, barony of Kilmanagh Lower. Premises in the town of Tipperary and 230 acres at Brookeville, the estate of James Sadlier and James Sadlier, the younger, were advertised for sale in 1865.
