In the 1790 census for Pa. there are no Laskeys listed.Edward Laskey is listed as Larkey.
In 1800 there are three Laskeys, Peter, Robert and Widow, the later the wife of Edward Laskey of Philadelphia
In 1810 there was John Laskey, son of Edward, in the western Northern Liberties of Philadelphia.Mrs., Edward's wife.Samuel Laskey who lived in Hempfield Twp. of Lancaster County and another Samuel of Sewickly Twp., Beaver Co.
Edward of Philadelphia appears to be the only Laskey in Pa. before 1800 so maybe your ancestor was still in England.There were also Laskeys in Mass.
