I think it was John Bevis, in 1731.
Yes, the first neutron star was observed in a supernova remnant. The object, named PSR B1919+21, was discovered in 1967 in the Crab Nebula, the remnant of a supernova that exploded in the year 1054 AD.
The constellation Taurus
The Crab Nebula is located in the constellation of Taurus. It is about 6,500 light-years away from Earth and is the result of a supernova explosion that was observed in the year 1054.

Nebula. Some nebulae are formed as the result of supernova explosions. The material thrown off from the supernova explosion is ionized by the supernova remnant. One of the best examples of this is the Crab Nebula, in Taurus. It is the result of a recorded supernova, SN 1054, in the year 1054 and at the centre of the nebula is a neutron star, created during the explosion.
The discovery of the crab nebula, a supernova remnant, seems to correspond to a bright supernova recorded by Chinese astronomers in 1054. The nebula was later described by John Bevis in 1731.
The supernova explosion that created the nebula was seen in 1054 AD by probably everyone, but was recorded by Chinese and Arab astronomers. The first recorded siting of the nebula was in 1731 by John Bevis.
The Crab Nebula was formed when it's host star exploded as a supernova [See related question]
The Crab Nebula was first observed in 1731.
It was found by a German man named Seemore Butts. He had a hairy face and chest and butt.
It's not the same as a supernova--the Crab Nebula is the visible remnant of a supernova event which occurred about 7,500 years ago. The light from the supernova explosion reached the earth and was observed by Chinese and Arab astronomers about 1,000 years ago. The Crab Nebula was the first object to be identified with a supernova which was actually observed during recorded history.
"The Crab" is a nebula.

The Crab Nebula or SN1054 is still visible with telescopes.
The crab nebula is the debris formed in the supernova explosion.
The Crab Nebula is a supernova remnant and pulsar wind nebula.
Pulsars were discovered in the Crab Nebula, a supernova remnant, in 1967. The Crab Pulsar is a neutron star at the center of the nebula that emits beams of radiation, producing regular pulses of light. The high-energy particles and magnetic fields in the nebula power the pulsar's emission.
