This cemetery is located 1/2 mile off the west side of Maple Lane SW. The Moak - Roberts Cemetery is on a small bluff overlooking a pasature and Dickerson Creek, just about 1/4 mile north of the Pike County line.

Moses Anderson Roberts obtained US Land Patents (years 1854 & 1859) for the SE/4 of Section 34 T5N R7E Pike County, Mississippi. (Now Lincoln County, Mississippi). John MOak, Newton Brown, Jesse Ginn, Josiah Wodall, and Hezekiah Woodall also received US Land Patents in this section of land-all between 1840 and 1859.

There is an old fence surrounding the graves.

Recorded in 1985 by the late Hollis Sasser, Mary Frances Sasser Phillips, Sarah Spencer and husband, Calvin Spencer. In 1985 a few wooden markers and some sandstones were evident; in 2001 the undergrowth was so thick they were not seen - only found one sandstone marking a grave.
