Biographical History
Nothing is known about this ship other than what is given in the volume. William Armstrong Fairburn's Merchant Sail, a comprehensive six-volume index of ships, lists four ships with this or a similar name (Aleona, Abeona, Abeona II, and Abeyone), but the earliest of these was built in 1811 so none is a match.
