Usually, the subject of the biography is involved in significant occasions or has articulated unique concepts or ideas that are documented in document form. Barbara Heck, on the other hand, never left in writing or written letters. There is no evidence to support such things as her date of marriage is only secondary. There are no primary sources from which one can reconstruct her motives and her conduct throughout the course of her lifetime. But she's become a hero in the early time of Methodism in North America. The biographer must define the myth, describe it and also describe the person that is portrayed in the story.

Abel Stevens, a Methodist historian wrote this in 1866. Barbara Heck is now unquestionably the first woman in the historical record of New World ecclesiastical women, due to the advances that was made through Methodism. The importance of her story will be largely due to the creation of her gorgeous name made from the history of the great cause with whom her name is distinguished more than from the history of her own lives. Barbara Heck was involved fortuitously in the genesis of Methodism throughout Canada and the United States and Canada and her fame lies in the tendency for an extremely popular movement or organization to celebrate its beginnings in order to enhance its perception of the past and its history.
