St Leger was the son of Arthur St Leger, 1st Viscount Doneraile and Elizabeth Hayes, daughter of John Hayes. He was elected to the Irish House of Commons as the Member of Parliament for Doneraile, sitting between 1715 and 1727.

He married, firstly, Hon. Mary Mohun, daughter of Charles Mohun, 4th Baron Mohun, on 8 June 1717. He married, secondly, Catherine Sarah Conyngham, daughter of Captain John Conyngham, in March 1725. He was succeeded by his eldest son from his first marriage, Arthur. After the death of the fourth Viscount without issue, the title passed to a descendant in the female line. [2]
