No one really knows. Century scores were uncommon before the late 19th century because the wickets were very rough and unprepared. The main claiment for the first recorded century is John Minshull playing for Dorset against Wrotham at Sevenoaks in England in 1769 ( quoted by G.B.Buckley in a book from 1935).
The first recorded century in a major match was by John Small playing for Hampshire against Surrey on Broadhalfpenny Down in July 1775 ( quoted by Arthur Haygarth, scores and biographies vol 1, published 1862)
The first test century was scored by Charles Bannerman playing for Australia in the first ever test match, England v Australia 1877. He scored 165 retired hurt.

Benjamin ("Big Ben") Brain (1753 - April 8, 1794) outweighed most men and even most professional fighters in the England of the 1780s. A coal miner by trade, Brain was a valiant fighter whose career spanned twenty years. Brain was born in the port city of Bristol, in southwestern England. His first recorded fight took place in 1774, when he defeated Jack Clayton, the champion of Kingswood. In 1786, when Brain battled John Boone ("The Fighting Grenadier"), toughs broke into the ring and ganged up on Brain. In the resulting melee, Brain suffered a beating that almost closed his eyes. When order was restored and a surgeon had lanced the swelling around Brain's eyes, Big Ben resumed fighting. Within ten minutes, he forced Boone to quit in defeat. In 1789, Brain was scheduled to fight the English champion, Hall of Famer Tom Johnson. When Brain fell ill and cancelled the bout, he forfeited the large sum of money he had put up for the fight. Two years later, Brain got his chance to fight Johnson for the title at Wrotham-in-Kent. Brain battered Johnson's nose effectively, and Johnson broke a finger in the course of the eighteen-round battle. Brain, then 37, prevailed, to take the title from the 40-year-old Johnson. Brain's toppling of Johnson is sometimes seen to mark the end of the first era of boxing, when men stood toe-to-toe and punched and grappled until one of them could no longer go on. There is no question that the early brawlers were courageous, but the boxers who came after Brain began to rely on more than just strength and stamina. Soon after winning the championship in 1791, and with no challengers coming forward, Brain retired from boxing. The title was then declared vacant. Three years later, there was still no champion, although a suitable challenger had come forward. Brain agreed to return to the ring as the acknowledged titleholder and was scheduled to fight Will Wood in February of 1794 in a comeback bout. However, Brain was stricken with an illness and was unable to fight. He died in April 1794, still considered the champion.
