War of 1812 Service Records about Martin Ebert

I have been doing a bit of research on the record I found at Ancestry.com, see the following
War of 1812 Service Records about Martin Ebert
Name:     Martin Ebert
Company:     5 ARTILLERY AND INFANTRY REG'T (COLDEN'S) NEW YORK MILITIA.
Rank - Induction:     PRIVATE
Rank - Discharge: PRIVATE
Roll Box:     64
Roll Exct:     602
Source Information:
Direct Data Capture, comp.. War of 1812 Service Records [database on-line]. Provo, UT, USA: Ancestry.com Operations Inc, 1999.
Original data: National Archives and Records Administration. Index to the Compiled Military Service Records for the Volunteer Soldiers Who Served During the War of 1812. Washington, D.C.: National Archives and Records Administration. M602, 234 rolls.

I wrote the the National Archives (U.S.) today, by e-mail, inquiring how I could obtain the full record of the above War of 1812 record.  I am waiting for their reply, which may take up to a week, according to their website.

I also went to Ancestry.com and found a list of the other men in the same company, 5 artillery and infantry reg't (Colden's) New York Militia.  I wrote down about 20 names and then looked for those names on the 1790 and 1810 US census.  There were several hundred names to choose from, I tried names that I thought were unique, or at least not too common.
 Results:
Albert Bradt    found 1790 at Watervliet, Albany, New York
Cornelius Bradt  found 1790 at Schenectady, Albany, New York
William Canada found 1790 at Otsego, Montgomery, New York
Zephaniah Clark found 1790 at Berlin, Rensellaer, New York
Joseph Doolittle found 1790 at Bethlehem, Albany, New York
Eliphalet Cushman found 1810 at Halfmoon, Saratoga, New York

The areas above are close to Berne, Albany, New York, so at least there is a chance this Martin Ebert could be a son of John Ebert of Berne, Albany, New York.   Still no proof he is 'our' Martin Ebert, but will let you know what the service record says, if I can get a copy.
