I did some digging in my notes and did find John's birthyear as being ca. 1739. Info is on file at the LDS. If the naming practices were used by the Baynum family then, John would have been 2nd born son. (1739). Assuming Elloner's father was John Greer. This makes William born before 1739 (He being the eldest son) and heir of Bartholomew Sr. Bartholomew Jr. would be the 3rd born son born after 1739. Heavily involved in the Rev War and by 1780 was wanted by Delaware for his actions in said War. He would be captured in 1786 and executed in Worcester Co, Maryland. That leaves Levi .......4th born son after Bart II. My quess is a biblical name for I have not been able to find any other Levis' that Levi Baynum would have been named after. ***My speculation.........using the data that I have at hand.
