In normal circumstances, the individual in question has either been an important participant in a significant occasion or has made an extraordinary proposition or statement that was recorded. Barbara Heck, on the other hand, left no written statements or letters. Evidence of such things as her date of marriage is simply secondary. It is impossible to reconstruct the motives of Barbara Hell and her behaviour throughout her life from original sources. However, she is a hero in the early time of Methodism in North America. The biographer is required to establish the myth, describe it and also describe the person that is portrayed in the story.

The Methodist historian Abel Stevens wrote in 1866. Barbara Heck is now unquestionably one of the pioneer women in the time of New World ecclesiastical women, due to the advances in the field of Methodism. The reason for this is that it's more on the significance of the cause that she has been linked to rather than her own private life. Barbara Heck, who was fortunate to be involved in the creation of Methodism both in America and Canada, is a woman whose fame stems from the tendency that a successful institution or movement will glorify their origins in order to strengthen their sense of continuity and heritage.
