Most of the time it is the case that the person has been involved in important events and has had unique thoughts or opinions which are documented on paper. Barbara Heck left neither letters and declarations. Actually, the sole evidence for matters like the date of the marriage from secondary sources. The primary documents that were used by Heck to describe the reasons behind her actions and motives are gone. Despite this, she was a cult figure at the dawn of Methodism. The biographer must define the myth, explain the story and identify the individual who is enshrined within.

Abel Stevens was a Methodist scholar and writer in 1866. Barbara Heck's modest name is now indisputablely first on the list of women who have been a major contributor to the life of the church in New World history. This has been because of the rise of Methodism within the United States. Her reputation is more based on the weight of the cause that she was connected to than the personal life. Barbara Heck, who was unintentionally involved in the founding of Methodism both in the United States and Canada, is a woman known for her fame due to the tendency of a successful organisation or movement to praise its roots to strengthen its sense of permanence and continuity.
