I long misread the owner’s name as Foxwood; the book clearly was used by William Stump Forwood, whose papers are at the University of North Carolina. The finding aid of that collection includes a biography, from which this is drawn —
William Stump Forwood, son of Samuel Forwood, was a physician and local historian of Darlington, Md. He was born 27 January 1830 in Darlington and remained there most of his life.... Forwood wrote extensively on the
ethnological
justification for slavery. He also published articles in medical journals on a variety of topics. He was the author of An Historical and Descriptive Narrative of the Mammoth Cave of Kentucky, first published in 1870. Forwood remained active in his medical practice until his death, apparently in 1891.

Forwood seems to have been energetic as a physician, writer, historian. One of his publications was Canning Houses and their Relation to the Public Health,
an abstract of which can be found in The Sanitarian (January 1884) here.
