The person who is the subject of the biography is usually one who is a participant in crucial roles in historic events or made unique ideas and proposals that have been documented in written form. Barbara Heck, on the other hand, left no writings or statements. The evidence of such matters as the date of her marriage, is merely secondary. There is no evidence of primary sources, from which one can trace her motivations and her actions throughout most of her existence. Her name is still considered a hero in the history of Methodism. The biographer must define the myth, explain it and identify the character who appears in the tale.

Abel Stevens, a Methodist historian in 1866, wrote about this. Barbara Heck is now unquestionably an early woman in the historical record of New World ecclesiastical women, due to the advances in the field of Methodism. It is important to examine the enormity of the record of Barbara Heck with respect to the title she was given than the story of her lives. Barbara Heck's participation in the founding of Methodism was a fortunate coincidence. Her popularity is due her involvement in the beginning of Methodism because it's become a natural habit of extremely powerful movements or institutions to exalt their origins, in order to remain connected with the past.
