Disambiguation needed?

This biography of William Herbert Hobbs, Ph.D. (1864 - 1952), an American geologist, is clearly beneficial to Wikipedia; however, there is another William Hobbs who probably also deserves his own page.

The William Hobbs whom I'm referring to was one of the accused at the Salem Witch Trials in 1692, along with his wife Deliverance and daughter Abigail. This William Hobbs is also linked (erroneously, at present) in the table entitled "Salem witch trials" at the bottom of any page related to the trials. For an example of this erroneous link, see Tituba.

I'm new (to editing) here, so I'm not sure how to do this, but I think there ought to be a dismabiguation page separating the two William Hobbses.
