Michael Risner (b.1841) Magoffin, KY - Questions on who is who

Surnames: Risner, Marshall, Hamilton
I have been doing some census research on the Risner family in Eastern Kentucky, and I have a Michael Risner (b.1841), son of Jacob Risner and Mary Ann (Marshall.) In the 1880 census, according to my research, he lives in Magoffin with wife Martha (Hamilton??), and several children, and next door to his younger brother Marshall and his family. In the family trees posted online, however, this Michael Risner is not the Michael who is married to Martha Hamilton; that Michael is the son of James Risner and Margaret Adams.

Can anyone clarify which Michael is married to Martha Hamilton, and then, the Michael who is not married to Martha - who is he married to?
