In Pomerology #33 in 2006 Chris Pomery wrote
The Rattery family stems from Henry Pomery & Ann Evans who married in the parish, which is near Totnes, in 1837. Rattery is on the opposite side of the River Dart from Berry Pomeroy not far from Harberton.
There are parish records in Harberton and nearby Buckfastleigh back a further 250 years while the earliest in Rattery itself is 1641, so I expect that this tree will be documented back several more generations in the same immediate area.
We have two DNA results associated with this tree which are not consistent, so further testing is called for to resolve this issue.
The PFA members researching the Rattery tree are: Julie P Pomeroy, Derek W Pomeroy, John Mason, Joan Wright. ( AJP 2020)

RATTERY Transcribed from William White's History, Gazetteer, and Directory of Devonshire 1850, by Terry Partridge.
RATTERY, or Rattrey, a small village on an eminence, four miles W. by N. of Totnes, has in its parish 485 souls, and 2823A. 3R. 23P. of land. Marley House, a large and handsome stuccoed mansion, with a fine lawn, is the residence of the Dowager Lady Carew, who is daughter and heiress of the late Walter Palk, Esq., and carried the manor of Rattery and other estates to the late Sir Henry Carew, Bart. Her eldest son Sir W. P. Carew, is now lord of the manor, but part of the soil belongs to R. Brown, Esq., and a few smaller owners. The Church is an ancient structure, with a tower, containing four bells, and crowned by a small spire. It has been repaired by Lady Carew, and has now a handsome appearance. Some of its windows have lately been decorated with stained glass. The vicarage, valued in K.B. at £14. 10s., and in 1831 at £240, is in the patronage of Sir. W. P. Carew, and incumbency of the Rev. R. P. Carew, who has a good residence and 60A. 3R. 5P. of glebe. The tithes have been commuted, the vicarial for £200, and the rectorial for £189. 9s. The latter belong to Lady Carew. There are two houses, a garden, and a field, vested for the repairs of the church; and a small Almshouse for six poor people. The poor have £3 a year, left by Dorothy Savery and Thomas Gould.
