War of 1812 Regiment for Martin Ebert

I have been doing a lot of reading about the War of 1812.  Next year is the 200th anniversary of the start of this war, and I am hoping there will be more information we can find.  I think the Martin Ebert from the 5th Artillery and Infantry Regiment (Colden's) New York Militia is probably 'our' Martin Ebert, but info on this war is very limited.  I looked last week at Fold3.com (formerly Footnote.com) and found very little information.
I did find the name of the commander of the unit Martin Ebert was in.  Cadwallader David Colden (1769-1834).
below is one of the websites I looked at.

COLDEN, Cadwallader David, (1769 - 1834)

COLDEN, Cadwallader David, a Representative from New York; born in Springhill, near Flushing, N.Y., April 4, 1769; prepared for college by a private tutor and pursued classical studies at Jamaica, N.Y., and in London, England; returned to the United States in 1785; studied law; was admitted to the bar in 1791 and commenced practice in New York City; moved to Poughkeepsie in 1793, and in 1796 relocated in New York City; appointed district attorney in 1798 and again in 1810; colonel of Volunteers in the War of 1812; member of the State assembly in 1818; mayor of the city of New York in 1819; as a Federalist successfully contested the election of Peter Sharpe to the Seventeenth Congress and served from December 12, 1821, to March 3, 1823; member of the State senate 1824-1827; moved to Jersey City, N.J.; devoted much time to the completion of the Morris Canal; died in Jersey City, N.J., on February 7, 1834.


Cadwallader was from a prominent New York family.  He was a well known and prosperous lawyer.  I can find a lot about him, not so much about the Militia he commanded during the War of 1812.  In one of the records I read, it seem his militia was defending New York City during one battle.  It would be good if we could find a chronological history of this regiment, to trace its movements over the course of the war.  Some of the militiamen would only have participated in campaigns near where they lived, and only for short periods of time, sometimes for as little as a day or two.  Militia were not regular army, and there are fewer records for them.
As far as I can tell, the over 1,000 names in his regiment came from various places in New York State.  As I  wrote in a previous blog, I found several names from the Albany County, New York area in the regiment.
