The person being investigated was either an active participant in a significant incident or presented a distinctive declaration or suggestion which has been recorded. Barbara Heck did not leave no written or personal notes. In fact, the evidence for the day she married was not important. Through the entirety of her adulthood, there are no evidence from the primary sources which permit us to trace her intentions and actions. Her legacy is an crucial figure in the early days of Methodism. The biographer must define the mythology, define it and describe the person who is enshrined within.

Abel Stevens was a Methodist scholar, who published his work in 1866. Barbara Heck, a humble woman who was from the New World who is credited with the advancement of Methodism throughout in the United States, has undoubtedly risen to first place in the ecclesiastical history of the New World. The magnitude of her record must chiefly consist of the creation of her most precious name made from the past of the famous reason for which her name is forever identified more than from the history of her lives. Barbara Heck's role with the early days of Methodism was an incredibly fortunate coincidence. Her popularity is due to the fact that a effective organization or movement can glorify their origins, in order to keep ties with the past and to remain rooted.
