What can I do to find out what they did with the bodies and the rest of the cemetery? 1 acre to .23 (less than a Quarter of an acre) No hearing and no notification to descendants

What happened when you called the Historical Society, developer, zoning office, or other county offices and asked them, since obviously that is the very first thing you should have done? You left that information out, and that would be important to know if you needed to take further steps.
Sounds like you need to retain professional assistance. Contact a lawyer and share with him/her all the relevant details pertaining to this incident. Should you wish to discuss this matter in greater detail with my firm, feel free to contact me:
Best regards,
What happened when it first started happening? Did you sit there and ignore it or did you contact the state, local historical societies, and, of course a lawyer?
You left out what happened when it was fixable. So there's no way to answer except to say "what happened then?"
