There are seven statutes of notable Kenton County/Northern Kentucky area folks at the George Rogers Clark Park on the Covington riverfront.  Curiously, George Rogers Clark is not one of them.

Simon Kenton.  There's a site devoted to the man for whom Kenton County  is named, here. You can read the Kenton Statute plaque here.  Sculptor is Robert Koepnick.
Capt. Mary Greene, one of the very few women who were steamboat pilots, has a biography here, and here. You can read the Greene Statute plaque here. Michael Price is the sculptor.
