Martin Fugate (1789-1855) War of 1812

I am trying to find the military history of Martin Fugate during the war of 1812. I did find a roll call list in Capt. Michael Glaves' Company, Scott's Regiment, Kentucky Militia. He enlisted as a Sergeant.

from there I know Michael Glaves was wounded at the Battle of Raisin. I can't find any list of the survivors to see if Martin was among them. I know he lived well past the war of 1812 but am unsure if he was in this battle.

for those who don't know, the battle of Raisin was a huge slaughter. Out of the 500 American's that were involved only 20 or so survived. For the rest of the war the Battle cry of "Remember the Raisin" was used for the entire Ky militia.

The only other reference I could find was he testified on the behalf of a fellow soldier that died during the battle.
Here is the copy and paste:

Pendleton County Order Book I - December, 1837
*THOMAS LAWSON Declaration: Maria LAWSON and John M. Lawson, the widow and only child of Thomas LAWSON who was an enlisted soldier in the late war. Statements given by Martin Fugate, Reuben McCarty and Samuel Wilson, soldiers of the late war. Thomas LAWSON was killed as a soldier enlisted for the late war. Said LAWSON "came to his death while in the service at the battle of the Raison." Thus they are applying for a pension. (Note) Thomas may have served during the War of 1812)

Any help you can give me would greatly be appreciated!
