The majority of times subjects have participated in significant events, and shared unique ideas or thoughts which are documented on paper. Barbara Heck left neither letters or statements. In fact, the sole evidence for matters like the date of Barbara Heck's marriage comes from secondary sources. It's impossible to determine the motivations behind Barbara Heck and her behavior throughout her entire life from primary sources. She is still a very significant figure at the start of Methodism. The biographer's task is to define the myth and explain it and, if it is possible, to identify the actual person featured in it.

The Methodist historian Abel Stevens wrote in 1866. The development of Methodism within the United States has now indisputably made the modest names of Barbara Heck first on the listing of women who have been included that have been a part of the ecclesiastical story of the New World. It is more important to think about the significance of Barbara Heck's record in relation to her legacy from her groundbreaking cause than to consider the narrative of her life. Barbara Heck was involved fortuitously in the inception of Methodism throughout both the United States and Canada and her fame is based in the natural characteristic of a very popular organization or movement to highlight its early days so that it can strengthen the sense of tradition as well as the continuity of its history.
