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]
