From Wiki: Oliver Evans (September 13, 1755 – April 15, 1819) was an American inventor, engineer, and businessman born in rural Delaware and later rooted commercially in Philadelphia. He was one of the first Americans to build steam engines and an advocate of high-pressure steam (as opposed to low-pressure steam). A pioneer in the fields of automation, materials handling and steam power, Evans was one of the most prolific and influential inventors in the early years of the United States. He left behind a long series of accomplishments, most notably designing and building the first fully automated industrial process, first propose a design vapor-compression refrigeration, the first high-pressure steam engine, and the first (albeit crude) amphibious vehicle and American automobile. More recently, however, in the allocation of priorities for the development of the high-pressure steam engine, the simultaneity of Evans’ work with that of Richard Trevithick has been established, and historians have accorded proper credit for his pioneering of the assembly line.

Thomas Pascal Jones (1774–March 11, 1848) was a British-born engineer and publisher in the United States of America.
