No. The first steam engine was patented by Thomas Savery in 1698. Thomas Newcomen improved the design and invented the first atmospheric and grossly inefficient, steam engine mine pump in 1712. James Watt was born in 1736 and is credited with the invention of the 'modern' steam engine that helped bring about the industrial revolution.
