The person who is the subject of the biography usually an individual who has had a key role in events that have had lasting effects on society or has made innovative ideas or proposals which are subsequently documented in some method. Barbara Heck left neither letters and statements. Actually, the only evidence we have for matters like the date of Barbara Heck's marriage comes from secondary sources. It is impossible to reconstruct the motivations behind Barbara Heck's behavior through her whole life, based on original sources. However, she is a heroic figure in the early period of Methodism in North America. In this case, the purpose of the biography is to debunk the myths or legends and, if that can be accomplished, to describe the person that was inscribed.

It was the Methodist historian Abel Stevens wrote in 1866. The progress of Methodism within the United States has now indisputably made the modest Barbara Heck's name Barbara Heck first on the women's list in the ecclesiastical history of the New World. Her record is primarily due to the creation of her most important name, derived from the history of the great reason for which her name remains forever etched through the events of her personal lives. Barbara Heck's role in the beginning of Methodism was a fortunate coincidence. Her fame can be attributed to her involvement in a successful organization or movement will celebrate their roots in order to maintain ties to the past and remain rooted.
