The subject of the biography usually a person who has played an important role in the events that have had lasting effects on society or has made unique ideas and proposals, that are recorded in a certain method. Barbara Heck has left no notes or correspondence. The date of her marriage as an example is not supported by any proof. It is impossible to reconstruct the motivations behind Barbara Heck and her behavior throughout her life from original sources. However, she's thought of as a hero throughout the past of Methodism. It is the task of the biographer to describe and delineate the mythology in this case, and then to attempt to depict the real person who was enshrined in.

The development of Methodism throughout the United States has now indisputably placed the humble Barbara Heck's name Barbara Heck first on the women's list who have a place in the history of the church of the New World. It is more important to look at the enormity of Barbara Heck's record in relation to the legacy of her incredible cause rather than the story of her life. Barbara Heck was involved fortuitously in the inception of Methodism in both the United States and Canada and her fame is based on the natural characteristic of a very effective organization or group to highlight its early days in order to strengthen its traditionalism and continuity with its past.
