Petronije Šišo was a Hajduk elder during the Serbian Revolution. Before the First Serbian Uprising, he was a Zlatibor hajduk, and as soon as the uprising began, he joined the insurgents, and Miloš Obrenović, who was then the army commander for the area, awarded him the title of bimbaša as one of the elders of the Zlatibor insurgents. Tradition says that his original name was Šuljagić, from the village of Draglica in Zlatibor, but the Turks cut his hair, so he was called Šišo, and his descendants are still in this Zlatibor village of Draglica in the hamlet of Šišakovići. According to another story, he cut his own hair in revolt against the Turks. Šišići from Mokra Gora also claim to be descendants of Šišo. [1]
In August 1813, Petronije Šišo went to his last battle with Miloš Obrenović's army. A large moat between Sava and Zasavica was built in order to prevent the Turks from crossing the Drina to the entrance to Mačva region. Šišo fought alongside duke Jovan Gligorijević, Zeka Buljubaša, duke Sima Katić Prekodrinac, proto Mateja Nenadović and Luka Lazarević. After 17 days of fighting, Petronije Šišo died along with 1,500 other Serbian insurgents near the banks of Zasavica river in Mačva.
According to a Zlatibor legend, Šišo waited for a Turkish company in Dobro potok and killed all the Turks except one, whom he left to return to Nova Varoš, where the company came from, and report that it was attacked and destroyed. When the Turkish soldier arrived, he said: "That Shisho waited for us in the shitty Potok and killed everyone!". Since then, Dobri potok has been called Posrani potok in the Zlatibor village of Draglica. That place is one of the worst sections of the Belgrade-Adriatic road.
