Since your request for information on Wilmot Nepean  something rather exciting happened.  Saltash Heritage were given almost 200 documents regarding the Nepean family going back to the late 1700s.  There are family trees, personal letters and other documents - they were a family who thought they should be of a higher class than they were.  A different female Wilmot Nepean was baptised in 1567 - if my memory serves me right - under the surname Nanpian The names were carried down through the family so I suspect your Wilmot was related to these Nepean. 
Myself and other volunteers have been transcribing the documents as they are a fascinating insight into Victorian life and they are now all typed ready for sorting chronologically.
If you would like more information on the Nepean family please contact me via Saltash  Heritage.
