Barbara Heck however left no notes or letters, and any evidence of such in relation to the day of her wedding is not the most important. The primary documents that were used by Heck to describe the reasons behind her actions and motives have been gone. However, she gained fame in the beginning of Methodism. In this case, the job of the biographer is to explain and account for the legend and explain, if it is possible, the actual person hidden within it.

Abel Stevens, Methodist historian in 1866. Barbara Heck, a humble woman of the New World who is credited with the advancement of Methodism across all of the United States, has undoubtedly made it to the top of the ecclesiastical history of the New World.
