The subject of the biography typically a person who has played significant roles in a number of events that have had an impact on the society or had distinctive ideas and plans, that are recorded in a certain way. Barbara Heck has left no correspondence or documents. Her date of marriage as an example is not supported by any proof. There are no surviving original sources that could reconstruct her motivations or her behavior throughout her life. Despite this, she was a cult figure during the early days of Methodism. The biographer's job is to identify the myth and explain it and if possible to describe the person who is enshrined within the myth.

Abel Stevens a Methodist Historian published a piece on this incident in 1866. The development of Methodism within the United States has now indisputably made the modest name of Barbara Heck first on the listing of women who have been included that have been a part of the ecclesiastical story of the New World. Her accomplishments must chiefly consist of the setting of her important name, derived from the history of the great causes with which her legacy is forever identified more than through the events of her own life. Barbara Heck played a lucky contribution to the birth of Methodism as it was conceived in both the United States and Canada. She is famous for the way that successful groups and organizations are prone to celebrating their origins.
