What on earth is Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet doing listed as a Deaf person? He was not Deaf. Never. Not even hard of hearing.
but if his mother was deaf he should have been affected by his moms deases or sickness or whatever it was!

Support. It looks like the father is always known as Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet and the son as Thomas Gallaudet. No need for a dab page for only two entries. In any case, life dates are almost always the worst
qualifier and not recommended.

Oppose/comment It seems that
Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet is by far the more notable of the two, including a namesake university, statue, and stamp. While
Station1 says that the father is always known by his full name, I don't think it takes a stretch of the imagination to say that many people searching for "Thomas Gallaudet" may be looking for Hopkins. I agree that the date qualifier is hardly ideal and would like to see something a bit more practical, but I'd like to see a redirect from
Thomas Gallaudet to
Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet, and {{
Otheruses}} on that page to point to the son's new article.
