The person who is the subject of the biography usually a person who has played crucial roles in historical events, or has developed unique ideas or proposals that have been documented in written form. Barbara Heck, on the other hand, left no writings or statements. There is no evidence to support such things as her date of marriage is simply secondary. It is impossible to reconstruct the motives of Barbara Hell and her behavior throughout her entire life from first-hand sources. But she is a heroic figure in early North American Methodism theology. For this particular case, the biographical task of the biographer is to establish and justify the myth and, if it is possible, to identify the true person who was enshrined into the myth.

This is what the Methodist historian Abel Stevens wrote in 1866. Barbara Heck's humble name is considered to be the most important in the ecclesiastical histories of New World because of the development of Methodism. Her record should be mostly attributed to the creation of her gorgeous name based on the story of the great cause whom her name is recognized more than the history of her own lives. Barbara Heck's contribution to the starting of Methodism was a synchronicity that happened to be a lucky one. Her fame is due in part to the fact it has been a common practice to have extremely successful groups or establishments to give glory to their roots, so as to maintain ties with the historical past.
