New Information
I work at BYU library and am using the resources of the library to add information on Cannon and add in-text citations. If there's an issue please let me know. Gandhi (BYU) (talk) 14:28, 9 June 2017 (UTC)

Also, I can't find a source for the dates the Hughes family left England or arrived in New York. I don't have a source for the family traveling in the Underwriter either.

Should "first female state senator" be moved closer to the beginning of the lead?
Guidelines for biographies suggest the opening sentence should establish notability, and one would assume being the first female to be elected state senator is an accomplishment notable enough to include.

From | Lead guidelines:

"The first sentence should usually state: '''
 * Name(s) and title(s), if any (see also WP:NCNOB). Handling of the subject's name is covered under MOS:NAMES.
 * Dates of birth and death, if found in secondary sources (do not use primary sources for birth dates of living persons or other private details about them).
 * Context (location, nationality, etc.) for the activities that made the person notable.
 * One, or possibly more, noteworthy positions, activities, or roles that the person held, avoiding subjective or contentious terms.
 * '''The main reason the person is notable (key accomplishment, record, etc.)"
