The subject of a biography has been as a key participant in major occasions or has articulated unique ideas or proposals which were recorded in a documentary form. Barbara Heck, on the contrary, did not leave writings or statements. Evidence of such items as her date of marriage, is only secondary. There is no evidence of original sources that could reconstruct her motivations or her behavior throughout her existence. Despite this, she was a cult figure in the beginning of Methodism. The biographical job is to identify the myth and explain it and, if it is possible, to identify the person who is enshrined within the myth.

Abel Stevens was a Methodist scholar, who published his work in 1866. The growth of Methodism within the United States has now indisputably placed the humble Barbara Heck's name Barbara Heck first on the list of women that have been a part of the ecclesiastical story of the New World. It is more important to consider the magnitude of her accomplishments in relation to her legacy from her incredible cause rather than the narrative of her life. Barbara Heck was involved fortuitously with the beginning of Methodism throughout both the United States and Canada and her fame is based in the natural characteristic of a very successful movement or institution to glorify its beginnings for the purpose of enhancing the sense of tradition as well as the continuity of its history.
