Jacks Creek Pike cemetery

There is a small cemetery located in the front yard of 5459 Jacks Creek Pike. It also has a concrete vault which appears to be quite old. I would like to know who is buried there and the date they were buried.

Indeed, a cemetery lies in the yard of Steve and Marlene Catt, who have lived in this location since 1980. They occasionally have travelers stop and ask about the old cemetery and the vault which can be seen from the road. The plot is apparently a family plot. The names and dates on the gravestones are:

Samuel Moore, husband, March 14-1836; Lafayette Cook Moore, wife, April 5, 1844 - February 17, 1917. Sadly, the children died within four days of each other: son William S. Moore, Dec. 11, 1867-March 9, 1887; daughter, Mary E. Moore, Sept. 29, 1882-March 15, 1887. According to Marlene Catt, as long as they have lived there, they have not had any family members visit the cemetery.
Jacks Creek Pike is covered with cemeteries, according to the Fayette County Cemetery Index produced by the Lexington Public Library. The Moore family cemetery is mentioned in a past issue of the Fayette County Genealogical Quarterly, but does not have any other information about the family.
