This record leaves a possible new avenue of research I am not familiar with nor what to make of it. All of his children 1774 to 1784 except the one that I can't find a record of were born in Greifenstein Prussia Germany and he was born in Muschenheim 1748. This could mean they were in Poland from 1787 to 1789. A possible birth place for the last child I can't find a record of birth for.
Any suggestions or thoughts in the evaluating of this Prussian Poland info would be appreciated. Why would he go there possibilities? He was a mason--work? Was there war but why take family? Just trying to think out of the box.

Here's an article about the partitions of Poland in the late 1700s - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partitions_of_Poland
As you can see from reading this, it will be rather difficult to find out where Nicolaus went with his family, because "Prussian Poland" covers a rather large area. You could try searching in the Polish archives https://szukajwarchiwach.gov.pl/ but I'm not sure how much luck you'd have there.
I did find, in Google Books, a chronicle of Greifenstein, that goes back before 1000AD. But very interesting, around page 97, it talks about Greifenstein in the 18th century, and on page 102, it talks about how this area was affected by the French Revolution. Perhaps Nicolaus left to keep his family safe before the war? BTW, the surname Daniel is mentioned in the book, but Buseck is not.
