Ron, Try the NY State Archives. If he served in a NY militia unit, they may have payrolls or a petition for claim (NY reimbursed its soldiers for expenses incurred during service). They have a webpage. Address is: New York State Archives Cultural Education Center Rm 11D40 Albany, NY 12230 Tel: 518-474-8955 email: refserv@unix6.nysed.gov If he was an militia officer, the commissions were published in NY State Council of Appointments, Military Records, 1784-1821, compiled and edited by Hugh Hastings (1902). Hope this helps.
