Geri,
Jordan Baker served in the US Army and not the militia. The 10th Regiment of US Infantry was primarily raised in North Carolina and the regiment served in New York State during the War of 1812.
The National Archives has the consolidated enlistment rosters for all of the U.S. Army regiments that served during the war in book form. This book is called the "Records of the Men Enlisted in the U.S. Army Prior to the Peace Establishment, May 17, 1815." This book contains the name and rank of each enlisted personnel, his regiment, his company commander’s name, his regimental commander’s name, a physical description of your ancestor plus his peacetime occupation, where he was born (county and state, or country), where he enlisted and the period of enlistment, and any additional remarks. All of the columns may not be filled in.
On NAFT Form 85 (Military Service Records) mark “regular” for army service in Box 9 (Kind of Service). A page from this book will be sent to you as your ancestor’s service record.
