Martha's name on the 1860 South Fork, Montgomery Co., AR census is no doubt Martha F. Sanders. One should consider the fact that it might be representative of her middle given name or the first letter of her maiden name.
Martha's exact death date is unknown. She was alive at the time of the 1880 census but was dead by 1900. It's interesting that the 1880 census indicates her father was born in Prussia and her mother in Maryland. There is a strong tradition about the descendants of Mary Lucretia Sanders, daughter of William and Martha, that Mary Lucretia had American Indian ancestry. There also seems to be a similar tradition of Indian ancestry among some of the other descendants of William and Martha, but William's Y-DNA is known (through genetic testing of relatives) to have been European. If the tradition of Indian ancestry is correct, the ancestry no doubt comes from a female in the family--possibly Martha herself, or Martha's mother, or William's mother, or William's grandmother.
Martha may be buried in an unmarked grave in the Sanders Millcreek Cemetery in Jackson County.
