The subject of the biographies is generally someone who played a key role in significant historic events or created unique concepts and ideas which have been recorded in writing. Barbara Heck left neither letters and statements. In fact, the sole evidence for matters like the date of Barbara Heck's marriage comes from second-hand sources. It's difficult to discern the motivations behind Barbara Heck and her actions throughout her entire life from first-hand sources. But she's become a important figure in the initial time of Methodism in North America. In this case, the biographical task of the biographer is to establish and interpret the myth and if possible to describe the real person enshrined in it.

Abel Stevens was a Methodist scholar who wrote his thesis in 1866. The advancement of Methodism in the United States has now indisputably put the names of Barbara Heck first on the list of women who have been included in the ecclesiastical history of the New World. It is far more crucial to look at the extent of Barbara Heck's accomplishments in relation to the name she was given instead of the narrative that tells her personal life. Barbara Heck's involvement in the beginning of Methodism was a fortunate coincidence. Her fame can be attributed her involvement in the beginning of Methodism because it has come to be a standard practice of extremely powerful movements or institutions to exalt their historic roots to preserve ties with the old.
