Number 2 - Napoleon - Correct.
That statue is in Corsica

Number 3 - Not Nelson, in fact Number 3s more well known statue has him on a horse.

Not Johnny Appleseed. Most statues of number 1 are when he is much older and not wearing his hat.

No.

1 is Benjamin Franklin
2 is Napoleon
3 is still to be guessed

And the big question is what is the link between them
