Most of the time subjects have participated in significant events, and shared unique ideas or thoughts that are recorded on paper. Barbara Heck, on the other hand, left no notes or written documents. Evidence of such things as her date of marriage is only secondary. The documents which were utilized by Heck in order to justify her motives and actions were not available. But she's become a iconic figure within the first time of Methodism in North America. It's the responsibility of the biographer to explain and delineate the mythology in this case, as well as to present the real person who was enshrined in.

It was the Methodist historian Abel Stevens wrote in 1866. The development of Methodism within the United States has now indisputably put the names of Barbara Heck first on the list of women that have been a part of the ecclesiastical story of the New World. In order to understand the importance of her name it is important that you take a look at the extensive background of the Movement that she is and will continue to be a part of. Barbara Heck's role at the start of Methodism was an incredibly fortunate coincidence. Her fame is due to the fact that a successful organization or movement will celebrate their roots so that they can maintain connections with the past and to feel rooted in it.
