There is no "Barrington" in MA.  It's "Great Barrington," which is in Berkshire Co., not Bristol Co..

This is some kind of glitch; other Great Barrington entries were duplicated, too.  There is only one Moses HOPKINS in Great Barrington (see next source).

The other two adult males were born before Moses and Anna were married.  Anna has had a child at least every-other year since their marriage, so it's more likely the two additional females are not her daughters, though they could be.  These extra individuals could be other kin or hired help.  Moses is listed two lines down from Samuel Hopkins (2-1-3-0-0) and seven lines above Gamaliel WHITING (4-1-4-0-0), who is one line above William WHITING 2nd (1-1-7-0-0), who is two lines above William WHITING, Esq.

The younger couple and their children may be hired help, but it is more likely one of their children and their family are living with them.  Moses is listed two lines above Sarah Hopkins (100000-10011-0-000), who is four lines above Jno.
