In general, the person who is featured in a biography has been an active participant in important occasions or has articulated unique ideas or proposals which were recorded in a documentary form. Barbara Heck however left no letters or statements indeed there is no evidence to support such claims as the day of her wedding is secondary. It's impossible to determine the motives of Barbara Heck's actions throughout her entire life from primary sources. She is still a very important figure for the beginning of Methodism. In this instance the biographer's task is to define and justify the myth and if possible to describe the actual person featured in it.

Abel Stevens was a Methodist scholar and writer in 1866. Barbara Heck has taken the highest spot on the New World's list of ecclesiastical leaders because of the growth of Methodism. Her accomplishments are based more on the importance of the cause that she was connected to than the private life. Barbara Heck was involved fortuitously at the time of the emergence of Methodism throughout both the United States and Canada and her fame rests on the natural characteristic of a very effective organization or group to glorify its beginnings for the purpose of enhancing the sense of tradition as well as connection to its past.
