The typical biography includes an individual who played an active role in the organization of significant events, or who had a unique statement or ideas that were recorded. Barbara Heck however left no notes or letters, and any evidence of such since the day of her wedding is merely secondary. There aren't any primary sources through which one can trace her motivations and her conduct throughout the course of her existence. In spite of this she became a legendary figure at the dawn of Methodism. In this case, the biography's job is to debunk the legend or myth and, if that can be done, describe the true person who was inscribed.

A report by the Methodist historian Abel Stevens wrote in 1866. Barbara Heck has taken the highest spot on the New World's ecclesiastical list because of the growth of Methodism. This is because the record of Barbara Heck has to be mostly based on her contributions to the cause to which her life's work remains forever connected. Barbara Heck was involved fortuitously at the time of the emergence of Methodism in Canada and the United States and Canada and her fame is based in the natural characteristic of a very effective organization or group to glorify its beginnings in order to strengthen its sense of tradition and the continuity of its history.
