The subject of the biography usually an individual who has had the leading role in important historical events, or has developed unique ideas or proposals that have been documented in written form. Barbara Heck, on the contrary, did not leave written statements or letters. Evidence of such matters as the date of her marriage is simply secondary. It is not possible to find a primary source that could be utilized to determine Barbara Heck's motives and actions through the majority of her time. However, she is a hero in the early time of Methodism in North America. It's the responsibility of the biographer to explain and delineate the mythology for this particular case and then to attempt to depict the person who was part of it.

Abel Stevens was a Methodist scholar who wrote in 1866. The development of Methodism within the United States has now indisputably made the modest names of Barbara Heck first on the list of women in the history of the church in the New World. The reason for this is that it's more on the importance of the cause that she has been involved in than on her personal life. Barbara Heck, who was fortuitously involved in the founding of Methodism both in the United States and Canada was a woman whose fame stems from the tendency that a successful institution or movement would be able to celebrate their founding to increase its perception of continuity and tradition.
