Normaly, the person being investigated was either an active part of a major incident or presented a distinctive declaration or suggestion that has been documented. Barbara Heck, on the however, has not left writings or statements. The proof of things as her date of marriage is only secondary. Through the entirety of her adulthood it is not possible to find evidence from the primary sources which permit us to trace her motives and actions. In spite of this she became a legendary figure at the dawn of Methodism. The biographer's mission is to determine and account for the myth and, if it is possible, to identify the actual person featured in it.

Abel Stevens, a Methodist historian wrote this in 1866. Barbara Heck has taken the top spot in the New World's ecclesiastical list because of the growth of Methodism. Her record is based more on the significance of the cause she was associated with than her personal life. Barbara Heck had a fortuitous contribution to the development of Methodism within Methodism in the United States of America and Canada. Her fame is built on the inherent characteristic that any successful organization or group must magnify the origins of their movement in order strengthen the sense of tradition.
