That’s actually pretty good.

Babbage is not quite an acceptable answer. He did create the analytical machine, (in theory), and a machine to write his sermons for him, (did build it, but someone ordered it destroyed and he blew it up trying to get at least one sermon out of it). He is sometimes credited as the father of the mechanical computer, but if we accept the mechanical computer, he wasn’t the first to come up with gear-powered calculating device, nor did he come up with any sort of general memory for such a device, which is desired to call something a computer as according to computer science.

More to the point, his machine WOULD have been turing complete, IF he had finished the designs and intended functions. He did not do so before his death.

(Nevertheless, in nanocomputing, his work is arising once again to give rise to extremely small mechanical logic circuits, and we now know much more about circuits, such that we can complete the machine)
