The subject of the biography typically a person who has played a key role in things that have left lasting effects on society or had innovative ideas or proposals which are subsequently documented in some manner. Barbara Heck did not leave writings or letters. Even the proof of the day she married was not important. The main documents used by Heck to describe her motivations and actions were gone. In spite of this she gained fame at the dawn of Methodism. The biographer's job is to identify and justify the myth and if possible to describe the person who is enshrined within the myth.

Abel Stevens, a Methodist historian wrote this in 1866. Barbara Heck is now unquestionably one of the pioneer women in the history of New World ecclesiastical women, due to the advances that was made through Methodism. It is more important to look at the enormity of her accomplishments with regard to the legacy she left for her incredible cause rather than the details of her personal life. Barbara Heck was involved fortuitously in the inception of Methodism in the United States and Canada and her reputation is built in the natural characteristic of a very effective organization or group to celebrate its origins in order to strengthen its traditionalism and the continuity of its history.
