The earliest mention of Alknomac in readily available on-line sources occurred in an advertisement in the Georgia Gazette that stated that she was accepting cargoes for London to depart in December 1798.

[1] Alknomac first appeared in the Register of Shipping in the 1800 volume (the first year RS was published).

[2] Lloyd's List reported on 8 April 1800 that a privateer had taken Alknomac, Miller, master, as she was sailing from London to Charleston, and sent her into Bordeaux.

[4] Other records state that Alknomack, Miller, master, was brought into Lorient and Île de Ré.

An extract of a letter dated 29 October 1801 from Fulwar Skipwith, the United States's commercial agent in Paris, shows the French prize Court having released Alknomac on 8 Brumaire Year 10 (28 October 1801).
