Then it’s easy: Jethro Tull (the man, not the band).

"Tull died at Prosperous Farm …"

I found the BATS connection too.

Clap Well done. It is Jethro Tull (1674-1741) indeed.
 
The other hints:
 
His birth place may be taken over by bats.
Referred to the Tangent's song Bat out of Basildon, which can be listened on PA's MP3 streaming. Basildon was Jethro Tull's birth place.
 
Progressive in two ways.
Both the man (as an inventor) and the band can be called progresssive.
 
Godspeed the plough.
The title of a Strackridge song. Jethro Tull made some improvements on the design of the plough.
 
Heavy horses are doing better than light oxen.
Tull propagated the replacement of oxen by horses on ploughing. Heacy Horses is an album by the band Jethro Tull.

Actually I found another connection between Basildon and a company called BATS. Not that they are taking over the place, but still …

And Godspeed the Plow is a reel written by John Moorehead around 1800. Originally it was made to "commemorate thLord Nelson’s recent headstrong victory over the French in the Battle of the Nile in 1798". then Thomas Morton used the melody in his "comedy" Speed the Plough (1800). You can find the lyrics here:

I haven’t found a new one yet. I have to think …

No, not Adam! LOL

And no, not prehistory. We know more or less when and where he was born and when and where he died.

Midnight here now, so I log out. Keep the questions coming; I’ll answer tomorrow.

(Nice to see that you survived your work, though! You had me worried …)
