Typically, the person who is being profiled is either a key participant in a significant incident or presented a distinctive declaration or suggestion that has been documented. Barbara Heck has left no correspondence or documents. Her date of marriage as an example is unsupported by evidence. There is no evidence of primary sources from which one can trace her motivations and her conduct throughout the course of her lifetime. However, she is a hero in the early time of Methodism in North America. It's the job of the biographer to describe and define the myth that she has created in this instance, and to try to portray the actual person enshrined therein.

It was the Methodist historian Abel Stevens wrote in 1866. Barbara Heck has taken the highest spot on the New World's ecclesiastical lists because of the growth of Methodism. This is because the record of Barbara Heck has to be predominantly based upon her contribution to the great cause, with which her legacy will forever be linked. Barbara Heck's involvement at the start of Methodism was an incredibly fortunate coincidence. Her fame is due to the fact that a successful organization or movement will honor their past in order to keep ties with the past and be rooted to it.
