In general, the person who is featured in an autobiography has been a major participant in significant events or has enunciated distinctive ideas or proposals which are documented in document format. Barbara Heck has left no correspondence or documents. The date of her marriage, for example, is unsupported by evidence. The documents which were used by Heck to explain her motives and actions have been not available. But she's become a iconic figure within the first time of Methodism in North America. The biographer must define the mythology, define it and describe the person who is enshrined within.

The Methodist historian Abel Stevens wrote in 1866. Barbara Heck, a humble woman who was from in the New World who is credited with the growth of Methodism throughout all of the United States, has undoubtedly risen to first place in the history of the church in the New World. It is more important to consider the magnitude of her accomplishments with regard to her legacy from her great cause than the details of her personal life. Barbara Heck played a lucky contribution to the birth of Methodism as it was conceived in both North America and Canada. She's famous because of the manner in which winning movements and institutions are prone to celebrating their origins.
