George and Thomas Weldon
George and Thomas Weldon, also known as the Weldon Brothers, were brothers from Antrim, Ireland who worked as builders in Mississippi.
They built the Old Courthouse, Warren County, which is a U.S. National Historic Landmark for its Greek Revival architecture and for its prominent place in history. The design for that is variously ascribed to another brother, William Weldon, and to Jackson, a slave.[1]

- Old Courthouse, Warren County, NRHP-listed[2]
