That's... very, very, shaky... at best.

Solaire's not near the statue for 80% of the game, he's only there for the first couple hours, he progresses through Lordran at about the same pace as the player. (little faster maybe.) Even if he was, that doesn't mean anything, he might just like the view from there, and he doesn't comment on the statue at all so if it's significant to him then the connection is pretty obscure.

There is no evidence at all that Ornstein even met Priscilla, let alone had a relationship with her. You also have to take into consideration that neither of them are human, while Solaire is. (only humans seem to be capable of becoming undead under 'normal' circumstances)

Having a parent who's good at fighting does not mean that the child will be good at fighting, by that logic Gwyndolin is a sun god because Gwyn was, even though he's the god of the moon. There is also no evidence of Ornstein being related to Geyn's son or being the firstborn, if that were the case then he would've been banished.

There never was any lore that stated that the Four Knights had a leader in the first place, Ornstein's title was captain of the guard, not grandmaster of the Four Knights. In fact it can be inferred that the four knights acted more or less autonomously of each other, this is supported by Artorias being sent with only Sif instead of the other Knights, Gough sitting alone in his tower, Ciaran apparently wandering the ruins of Oolacile, and Ornstein guarding the illusion of Gwynevere.
