Biography

Radojko Kojadinović was born around 1745 in the village of Selevac, in a large Serbian family belonging to the Mitrović branch, whose origins are from Kosovo. In the county notebook of the Jasenica captaincy of the Smederevo district for 1832/33 year, he was registered under number 83 as "Radojko Kojadinović, 87 years old, exempt from taxes". Captain Sima, son, 39; Marinko, son, 33; Ranko, son, 29; Gligorije, grandson, 5; Vasilije, grandson, 5; and Antonije, grandson, one-and-a-half-year-old; were all enrolled with him.

When Vujica Vulićević was appointed duke of the Smederevo Nahiye in September 1805, he placed people of trust around him. He appointed Radojko Kojadinović of Selevac as the obor-knez of the Jasenica principality, Janko Đurđević of Konjska (Mihajlovac) as his advisor, Milosav of Lapovo as a boluk-bashi, and as the scribe Miloje Đak or Miloje Popović, known as đak (student) of Kusadak (who years later went on to initiate a rebellion against Prince Miloš Obrenović).

In April 1834, Prince Miloš Obrenović came from Požarevac to Osipaonica, where he forgave the participants in Đak's rebellion. On that occasion, Radojko handed over a three-year-old horse to the prince. Radojko was 89 years old at the time (according to the data from the county registry) and was among the four oldest elders at that ceremony.

Radojko is the ancestor of Radojković in Selevac. His son Sima became the captain of the Jasenica captaincy of the Smederevo district.
