Usually, the subject of the biography is an active participant in important occasions or has articulated unique notions or plans that have been recorded in documentary form. Barbara Heck left neither letters or statements. The most evidence available for matters like the date of Barbara Heck's wedding comes from second-hand sources. It's impossible to determine the motives behind Barbara Heck as well as her conduct throughout her entire life from primary sources. She is still regarded as an icon in the history of Methodism. Biographers must establish the myth, describe it as well as describe the person who appears in the tale.

The Methodist historian Abel Stevens wrote in 1866. The advancement of Methodism throughout the United States has now indisputably established the modest names of Barbara Heck first on the listing of women's names in the religious history of the New World. The reason for this is that it's more on the weight of the cause she has been associated with than her personal life. Barbara Heck was involved fortuitously with the beginning of Methodism throughout The United States and Canada and her fame rests on the inherent tendency of an extremely successful organization or institution to celebrate its beginnings in order to increase its understanding of tradition and continuity with its history.
