Abel Stevens, a Methodist historian wrote this in 1866. Barbara Heck is now unquestionably the first woman to be included in the time of New World ecclesiastical women, due to the advances that was made through Methodism. Her accomplishments must chiefly consist of the creation of her most precious name made from the history of the great cause with which her memory is forever identified more than from the history of her life. Barbara Heck was involved fortuitously at the time of the emergence of Methodism throughout the United States and Canada and her fame is based in the natural tendency of a highly successful movement or institution to glorify its beginnings for the purpose of enhancing its traditionalism and continuity with its past.
