I would say it is more than likely the same person - in the 17th century
there was no 'default' way to spell a name (probably not even a word). So
those variants are well within reason to be the same person. I wouldn't be
surprised to see all three spellings in the same document referring to the
same person.

Thomas Daffye had an elixir or tonic.

DAFFY is a variant pet form of DAVID, from the Hebrew, meaning BELOVED.

Variant spellings - DAPHI - DAFIE - DAFEY - DAFYE - DAFFEY - DAFFYE - DAFY
