The subject of an autobiography has been a major participant in significant incidents or offered unique notions or plans that have been documented in written format. Barbara Heck left neither letters and statements. The only evidence we have for matters like the date of Barbara Heck's marriage stems from second-hand sources. No primary source exists that could be used to trace Barbara Heck's motives or actions during most of her lifetime. She is still regarded as a hero throughout the history of Methodism. Biographers must establish the myth and explain its meaning, and also describe the person that appears in the tale.

Abel Stevens, a Methodist historian in 1866, wrote about this. Barbara Heck is now unquestionably an early woman in the history of New World ecclesiastical women, due to the advances made by Methodism. The reason for this is that it's more on the significance of the cause that she was connected to than the personal circumstances. Barbara Heck was involved fortuitously in the genesis of Methodism in The United States and Canada and her fame stems from the inherent tendency of an extremely successful organization or institution to glorify its origins to reinforce its belief in heritage and be a part of its past.
