First of all, I have no reason to believe he is related to "my" Sievwrights, but since I have researched this family I thought I would share my research. Maybe someone else will find it useful.
Since there is an older Francis Sievwright and a Colin Sievwright, surgeon, in my tree I thought it was possible that this man was related.
