Doug - Have you tried talking with the landowner in a very pleasant way, the way you would like to be approached? I have found most people who understand a problem will help you solve it. I just found my ggg grandfathers Jones Family Cemetery (which consist of only 7 graves) on his old farm. The owner knew it was there, but had no idea of the family descendants as no one had ever approached him. He was very nice and advised he would be glad to help me, that I was more than welcome to come back anytime to restore the cemetery. This I plan to do. Good luck.

I understand that I would have to take him to court. This takes money that I don't have.

You may want to check to see if this is true in Tn. and maybe you can get the problem solved. GOOD LUCK.
