The person who is the subject of the biography is usually a person who has played a key role in things that have left a lasting impact on society or had unique ideas and proposals, that are recorded in a certain way. Barbara Heck left neither letters and statement. Actually, the sole evidence regarding the date of the marriage from second-hand sources. No primary source exists that could be used to trace Barbara Heck's motives or the actions she took during her time. But she is heroized in the beginning of North American Methodism history. The biographical job is to identify the myth and explain it and, if feasible, describe the real person enshrined in the myth.

Abel Stevens, a Methodist historian in 1866, wrote about this. Barbara Heck is now unquestionably the first woman in the historical record of New World ecclesiastical women, due to the advances achieved by Methodism. Her record is based more on the significance of the cause she was connected to than the personal lives. Barbara Heck had a fortuitous role in the establishment of Methodism in Methodism in the United States of America and Canada. Her name stems from the fundamental characteristic that any successful organisation or organization must emphasize the cause of their movement in order strengthen the sense of the past.
