What are suggestions for disambiguating the late 19th century governor Murphy J. Foster and his grandson the late 20th century governor Murphy J. "Mike" Foster?

Should "Murphy J. Foster" be a disambiguation page, with links to the two governors?

What should the first governor Foster's article be titled? Possiblilities: "Murphy James Foster", "Murphy J. Foster (1892-1900)" (refering to his term as governor), "Murphy J. Foster (1849-1921)" (refering to his life). Other suggestions?

How should we entitle the second? "Murphy J. Foster, Jr.", "Mike Foster", "Murphy J. Mike Foster", "Murphy J. Foster (1996-2004)", "Murphy J. Foster (born 1930)"? Other options?

[edit] Another green shade

I assumed William Charles Cole Claiborne was a Democratic-Republican while in the Orleans Territory office. Probably like George F. Shepley. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.102.210.163 (talk) 19:04, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
