A biography typically includes a subject who was an important participant of important events or who had a unique statement or comments that were recorded. Barbara Heck has left no correspondence or documents. Her date of marriage was, for instance, unsupported by evidence. The lack of a primary source can be used to reconstruct Barbara Heck's motives and the actions she took during her lifetime. Despite this, she is regarded as a hero in the history of Methodism. In this case, the job of the biographer is to account and explain the story and explain, if it is possible, the actual person who lies within it.

The Methodist historian Abel Stevens wrote in 1866. Barbara Heck is now unquestionably the first woman in the historical record of New World ecclesiastical women, due to the advances achieved by Methodism. The reason for this is that the history of Barbara Heck is predominantly based upon her contribution to the great cause, to which her life's work is forever linked. Barbara Heck had a fortuitous contribution to the development of Methodism in the United States of America and Canada. Her name is built on the inherent characteristic that any successful organisation or organization must magnify the origins of its movement to enhance the feeling of the past.
