With the notorious number of mistakes found in that particular book, especially with the reading of 1's and 4's being off, and 0's and 6's being interchanged, I suspect this child's date of birth was actually 21 Apr 1836. This would be supported by the 1840 census records for the family of John C. Williams, which shows three boys under the age of 5. And this child would fit nicely between Prisilla, born 1834 and Jacob Chism Williams born 1838. This would make Colden C, Jacob Chism and Willoughby Columbus the three boys under the age of 5 on that census record, and Prisilla and Mary as the two girls between the ages of 5-10.
