In most cases it is the case that the person has been involved in important events and has had unique thoughts or opinions which are documented in writing. Barbara Heck, on the other hand, left no writings or statements. The evidence of such details as the date she got married marriage is only secondary. For the vast majority of her life as an adult it is not possible to find original sources to can be used to determine her motives and actions. However, she has become heroized in the beginning of North American Methodism historical. The biographer's job is to identify the myth and explain it and if possible to describe the person who is enshrined within it.
It was the Methodist historian Abel Stevens wrote in 1866. Barbara Heck has taken the top spot in the New World's list of ecclesiastical leaders in the wake of Methodism. This is because the record of Barbara Heck must be primarily based on her contribution to the great cause, and her name remains forever connected. Barbara Heck was involved fortuitously with the beginning of Methodism throughout the United States and Canada and her fame is based in the natural tendency of a highly successful movement or institution to highlight its early days so that it can strengthen its traditionalism and the continuity of its history.
