Typically, the subject of the investigation is either a key participant in a significant event or made a unique statement or proposal that has been documented. Barbara Heck, on the other hand, left no notes or written documents. The evidence of such items as her date of marriage, is only secondary. It's difficult to discern the motivations behind Barbara Heck and her behavior throughout her entire life from primary sources. She is still a very important figure for the beginning of Methodism. It's the job of the biographer to explain and delineate the mythology that she has created in this instance, and then to attempt to depict the person who is portrayed in it.

Abel Stevens a Methodist Historian wrote about this event in 1866. The progress of Methodism throughout the United States has now indisputably made the modest name of Barbara Heck first on the women's list who have a place in the history of the church of the New World. Her reputation is more based on the significance of the cause she is connected to than the personal life. Barbara Heck played a lucky part in the founding of Methodism, both in the United States and Canada. She's famous because of the manner in which winning groups and organizations tend to celebrate their beginnings.
