Typically, the person who is being profiled is either a key participant in a significant event or made a unique proposition or statement that has been documented. Barbara Heck left neither letters nor statement. In fact, the only evidence we have for matters like the date of the marriage from secondary sources. The lack of a primary source can be utilized to determine Barbara Heck's motives and actions during most of her life. In spite of this she gained fame at the dawn of Methodism. This is an example where the biography's job is to expose the myths or legends and if it is able to be accomplished, to describe the person that was enshrined.

It was the Methodist historian Abel Stevens wrote in 1866. The development of Methodism in the United States has now indisputably made the modest Barbara Heck's name Barbara Heck first on the listing of women who have been included in the ecclesiastical history of the New World. The reason for this is that the history of Barbara Heck has to be predominantly based upon her contribution to the great cause, to which her life's work remains forever connected. Barbara Heck, who was without intention a part of the founding of Methodism both in the United States and Canada, is a woman known for her fame due to the trend for an institution or movement to exalt its roots to strengthen its sense of permanence and continuity.
