The typical biography includes an individual who was a prominent participant of important events or who had a unique statement or comments that were recorded. Barbara Heck has left no notes or correspondence. Her marriage date was, for instance, unsupported by evidence. No primary source exists that can be used to reconstruct Barbara Heck's motives, or her actions during most of her time. However, she became a legendary figure during the early days of Methodism. The biographer's job is to identify and justify the myth and, if feasible, describe the actual person featured in the myth.

Abel Stevens, Methodist historian in 1866. Barbara Heck, a humble woman who was from 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 ecclesiastical history of the New World. The reason for this is that the history of Barbara Heck has to be predominantly based upon her contribution to the great cause, to which her life's work is forever linked. Barbara Heck was involved fortuitously in the inception of Methodism in both the United States and Canada and her fame rests in the natural characteristic of a very effective organization or group to highlight its early days in order to strengthen its traditionalism and the continuity of its history.
