John Sergeant
From Graces Guide
1753 'We are informed that on the 13th inst. the new Fire Engine at Cleaton le Moors, near Paduam, made by the ingenious Mr. John Sergeant, Engineer, was set to work in the Presence of a great Number of Spectators: The Truth of its Motion, and the Quantity of Water it discharged in a Minute, was very much admired, and gave great Satisfaction to the Proprietors the Coal-Works that Place.'[1]
This was presumably a Newcomen engine.
