The majority of times it is the case that the person has been involved at important occasions and expressed unique thoughts or ideas that are recorded on paper. Barbara Heck did not leave any letters or written statements. In fact, the evidence for the day she married was not important. The main documents used by Heck to explain her motivations and actions have been gone. She is still a very significant figure at the start of Methodism. The biographer's job is to identify the myth and explain it and, if it is possible, to identify the actual person featured in it.

A report by the Methodist historian Abel Stevens wrote in 1866. Barbara Heck, a humble woman of in the New World who is credited for the development of Methodism across in the United States, has undoubtedly made it to the top of the history of the church in the New World. The magnitude of her record must chiefly consist of the naming of her precious name made from the story of the major causes with which her legacy will be forever linked more through the events of her own life. Barbara Heck had a fortuitous part in establishing Methodism within Methodism in the United States of America and Canada. Her reputation is based on the natural tendency that any highly successful group or institution has to emphasize the cause of its movements in order to strengthen the sense of the past.
