Stevan "Steva" Jakovljević also known as Steva Jakovljev iz Ljievča was born in Belušić in Ljevča. He was Karađorđe's brother. He was one of the leaders of the Serbs in the fight against the Janissaries before the uprising. He led the Jagodina army in 1797 during the expulsion of Tosum-Aga of Jagodina and Ćuprija. He participated with his company in the assembly in Orašac when the first uprising broke out. In the slaughter of the princes, the Janissaries intended to kill him as well, but he managed to escape by fleeing into the woods before they came after him. He took part in many battles as a leader of the Levites. After the collapse of the uprising, he remained in hiding from the Turks. When Hadzi-Prodan raised the revolt, Stevan and his brother raised the leftist I Temnić to arms. After the revolt was quelled, he was taken to Belgrade together with 150 other people from the Jagodina district, where the Turks impaled him. His daughter was also in slavery with him. She managed to escape, together with the daughter of Duke Dukić I, to move to Pančevo.
In 1797, military preparations for the uprising began throughout Serbia. In doing so, they counted on considerable stocks of pockets among the people, near Austria, where pockets could be obtained from Serbian merchants, a certain division between the imperial Turks and the Dahis.
The bearers of these preparations were: in the Jagodina nahija, Stevan Jakovljević-Belušić and Miloje Todorović-Crnče.
On the eve of the Slaughter of the Knezes Karađorđe, he was in his home in Topola, while Stanoje Glavaš took refuge with his comrades at arms. The failed attempt of the Turks to defeat and arrest Karađorđe was the last warning to the future leader. Janićije Đurić, later Karađorđe's secretary, found him in Kopljari, in the house of Marko Karatošić. There were also Stanoje Glavaš, Vule Ilić Kolarac, Steva Jakovljev, Vasa Čarapić, Milutin Savić, Arsenije Loma and other prominent people who escaped the cutting of the princes. According to Janić Đurić, this gathering in the house of Prince Marko in Kopljari took place only two days before the assembly in Orašac. It was clear to everyone then that Turkish oppression could no longer be tolerated.
On the road Belušić-Oparić near Rekovac, there is a tree that has been instilling fear for more than 150 years. People do not even dare to touch it, let alone break off a branch
It is said that after a long journey, the hajduk Steva Jakovljev, Karađorđe Petrović's brother, lay down in the shade of a tree to rest and that when he woke up he became a rascal.
Stevan Jakovljev - better known as [Vojvode]] Stevan Jakovljević, a native of the village of Belušić in Levča, (according to one news item) died in 1814 after the Hadži-Prodan revolt.
