These Revolutionary War graves are located at Pioneer Park Cemetery on Brook Street in Titusville, Pennsylvania. Most of the headstones in this old cemetery are in pretty bad shape, but there is a small obelisk with two plaques noting that three soldiers of the American Revolution are buried there.

The first plaque says, "A Revolutionary soldier surnamed Blood lies within these precincts." No other information about this soldier is given.

The second plaque says, "These Revolutionary soldiers lie buried here - Private Thomas Mitchell - Died April 21, 1805 - Ensign William Cunningham - Died November 4, 1805"

A plaque on the opposite side of the obelisk says, "Pioneer Park - Here lie many of the founders of this community. Men who helped to blaze the westward path of civilization. - Respect their dust: revere their memory. - "Upon earth's kindly breast - Thou art indeed at rest: - Thou and thine arduous days." - By Canadohta Chapter Daughters of the American Revolution 1980"
