The 1900 census helps us because it confirms there were 8 children.

The 1910 census helps us confirm Palace's gender. The name Palace is used for men and women. The 1900 doesn't help much by calling Palace a daughter. The 1910 census is much stronger evidence because it lists a wife and a son of same name. This together with the 1880 census leads to a firm conclusion that Palace was male, and the 1900 census is incorrect on this.
