So far I have still not found very much historical information regarding the first uses of these pumps, nor their original designers/manufacturers. From my understanding, these are still used in many third world countries as a primary means for well water retrieval. Unfortunately, I am unable to find any solid facts stating the origin and history of any of them.
Any other help is appreciated. Thanks so far.

Surprisingly, the Internet is not "all knowing". In other words, if you haven't already done so, you may have to go to the library.
I would search for information on water wells, hand pumps (Google does have images on these), history of plumbing, and history of farming.
