Meanwhile, the Missionary Society had begun sending more missionaries to India. The first to arrive was John Fountain, who arrived in Mudnabatty and began a teaching school.

The spirit of the early community's unity was somewhat broken when some new missionaries arrived and who were not willing to live in the communal fashion that had developed. One missionary even went as far as to demand "...a separate house, stable and servants." There were also other differences, as the new missionaries found their seniors - particularly Joshua Marshman, to be somewhat dictatorial, assigning them duties which were not to their liking.

In 1800,when she first met them, Marshman was appalled by the neglect with the way in which William Carey looked after his four boys; aged 4, 7, 12 and 15, they were unmannered, undisciplined, and even uneducated. Carey had not spoiled, but rather simply ignored them. Marshman, her husband and their friend the printer William Ward, took the boys in tow. Together they shaped the boys as Carey pampered his botanical specimens, performed his many missionary tasks and journeyed into Calcutta to teach at Fort William College. They offered the boys structure, instruction and companionship. To their credit - and little to Carey's - all four boys went on to useful careers. There have been several people named William Ward, including: William Ward, 2nd Earl of Dudley, sometime Governor-General of Australia William Ward the Serampore missionary (see Joshua Marshman, and William Carey ) for more details William Ward, Lieutenant-Colonel commanding the Georgia Battalion, who was executed at the Goliad Massacre during...

At one point Hannah wrote about Carey, "The good man saw and lamented the evil but was too mild to apply an effectual remedy."
