They have. It's often recorded as a dialectic pronunciation under the definition of "ask." It was literally used in Chaucer. The fact that you haven't looked doesn't mean records don't exist.

So then not a legitimate word but in some backwards uneducated areas people talk funny? Got it, means my assumption about those people has been correct this whole time.

Edit: also, chaucer isnt a good reference for the modern english language seeing as how its not the modern english language. His work is pretty much unintelligible to any modern english speaker. Might as well be referencing some archaic german writer.
