I don't have any explanation for the wife being listed as "Martha".Perhaps the census taker made a mistake or maybe her middle name was Martha.The age and place of birth for the Martha listed on the 1880 census fits with what I know about Sarah.The only other name I have ever seen for Sarah is "Sallie".
I also have the pension application that was filled out by Sarah Maxwell.Here is some of the information from this document.

I was in the same Company and Regiment and was mustered in at the same time he was.
He was my brother and I never have heard or known of any other Wm. S. Maxwell being in the Confederate service.
