The subject of the investigation was either an active participant in an important event or made a unique declaration or suggestion that has been documented. Barbara Heck however left no letters or statements indeed there is no evidence to support such claims in relation to the date of her marriage is secondary. It's impossible to determine the motives of Barbara Heck and her behavior throughout her entire life from primary sources. She is still a very significant figure at the start of Methodism. This is an example where the biography's job is to expose the myth or legend and, if that can be accomplished, to describe the true person who was enshrined.

The Methodist historian Abel Stevens wrote in 1866. Barbara Heck, a humble woman who was from her native New World who is credited with the growth of Methodism across the United States, has undoubtedly been a leader in the ecclesiastical history of the New World. The magnitude of her record is primarily due to the setting of her important name, derived from the past of the famous cause with which her memory is forever identified more than through the events of her personal lives. Barbara Heck's involvement at the start of Methodism was an incredibly fortunate coincidence. Her fame can be attributed to the fact that a very effective organization or movement can glorify their origins, in order to keep ties with the past and feel rooted in it.
