- Sima Sarić (Serbian: Сима Сарић) or Simo (Симо Сарић), hajduk harambaša (brigand, guerilla leader) active in the First Serbian Uprising. Joined hajduk leader Đorđe Ćurčija who crossed into Jadar on 15 July 1804 and dispersed Turks from the area.[3] Rallied the people of Jadar in 1804, together with hajduk Todor Bojinović, Gavrilo Caklen, and monk Đunisije of the Tronoša monastery, in opposition to Anta Bogićević's truce with Ali-paša Vidajić of Zvornik.[4] Sarić was sent by Ćurčija to take over Loznica, and he entered an empty town, the Turks having left for Bosnia.[3] He appointed the local command in Loznica and then dug trenches towards the Drina to defend from incoming Ottoman Bosnian troops.[3] After vojvoda Jakov Nenadović's arrival, the Jadar men chose Anta to lead them and Anta was elevated to vojvoda and appointed several buljubaša (captain), among whom were Sarić.[5]
