Petar Jokić also known as Topolac, was one of the important participants in the First Serbian Uprising, also credited for collecting material for the history of the turbulent time in which he lived. As an insurgent, he is known mainly to historians, while with the interesting data he provided to historiography, he became known to a wider readership. It was historian Milan Milićević who recorded Petar Jokić's experiences during the First Serbian Uprising on behalf of the Serbian Royal Academy of Sciences before he died. According to the decision of the censor, his testimony could not appear in print during the reign of Prince Aleksandar Karađorđević, but much later, only in 1891. There were two other revolutionaries, Janićije Đurić and Anta Protić, who also wrote their eyewitness accounts about the war of independence.
Janićije Dimitrijević Đurić, also spelled Janićije Djurić, was the secretary of Karađorđe Petrović, a member of the Governing State Council and the president of the Court of Appeals.
