I think the Primitive Baptists still use Elder that way. I have run into a few Baptist churches, though, that have an order of Elders separate from the Pastors, more like in Presbyterian polity, e.g. I think the First Baptist Church of Lynden, Washington. I am interested in this terminological issue, "Presbyter(y)" among Baptists, though. I apologise for raising it in this thread about the Alabama BC's ordained slave, so I think I'll start a separate thread for it.
