A biography usually features a subject who was an important participant in significant events, or who had a unique statement or suggestions that were documented. Barbara Heck, on the other hand, left no writings or statements. Evidence of such details as the date she got married marriage, is only secondary. The primary documents that were used by Heck to describe the reasons behind her actions and motives have been lost. However, she has become heroized in the beginning of North American Methodism theology. Biographers must establish the myth, describe the meaning and then describe the person that is revered in.
Abel Stevens a Methodist Historian published a piece on this incident in 1866. Barbara Heck, a humble woman who was from in the New World who is credited with the growth of Methodism throughout the United States, has undoubtedly been a leader in the ecclesiastical history of the New World. Her record is primarily due to the setting of her important name, derived from the story of the major cause with which her memory is forever identified more than from the history of her life. Barbara Heck was involved fortuitously with the beginning of Methodism in both the United States and Canada and her fame is based on the inherent nature of an extremely successful movement or institution to highlight its early days for the purpose of enhancing its traditionalism and connection to its past.
