The typical biography includes an individual who played an active role in the organization of important events or made unique statements or comments that were recorded. Barbara Heck did not leave no written or personal notes. Even the proof of the date of her wedding was a secondary issue. It's impossible to determine the motivations behind Barbara Heck's behavior throughout her life from the primary sources. She is still a very crucial figure in the early days of Methodism. It's the job of the biographer to explain and define the myth that she has created in this instance, and then to attempt to depict the person who is portrayed in it.

Abel Stevens a Methodist Historian wrote about this event in 1866. Barbara Heck, a humble woman of the New World who is credited for the development of Methodism across the United States, has undoubtedly been a leader in ecclesiastical histories of New World. It is important to think about the significance of her accomplishments in relation to her legacy from her incredible cause rather than the story of her life. Barbara Heck's involvement with the early days of Methodism was an incredibly fortunate coincidence. Her fame can be attributed to the fact that a very successful organization or movement will honor their past in order to keep ties with the past and to be rooted to it.
