I came across this source while looking through Google books: Edwin H. Simmons (2003) The United States Marines: a history, Naval Institute Press, ISBN 9781557508683. Page. 63 discusses McCawley's direct appointment (in that it was not the norm at the time). There seems some confusion, though. In the text of this article it is said that McCawley (junior) was appointed the day after his father retired, and implied that that was in 1897 (based on the preceeding paragraph in which it is stated that McCawley junior held the Chief Clerk position from 1881-1897). However, according to the father's article ( Charles Grymes McCawley), the senior he retired and died in 1891. The Simmons citation seems to confirm McCawley junior's appointment was in 1897 and that it was after his father's death (the posthumous comment), so I guess either the date of death for McCawley senior is wrong, or the source that says that Junior was appointed the day after his father retired is wrong. Might be something to look into. — AustralianRupert ( talk) 05:36, 7 August 2009 (UTC)

I have been researching old newspaper articles, trying to find out more about Charles' younger brother William. There is a lot of varies sources out there indicating Charles' significant skill in Tennis, and his involvement in popularizing the sport in the 1880s. It helped explain for me why he did not immediately follow in his father's and grandfather's footsteps in joining the Marine Corps. It appears he was very active in the Columbia Sports Club and, being one of the best tennis players in Washington D.C., was eventually elected president of the Southern Lawn Tennis Association. Regrettably, I can't find any information on those two organizations outside of old newspaper articles, so I don't know if it would be useful here. Just putting this information out there in case anyone is interested in expanding this article. KMJKWhite ( talk) 05:57, 26 February 2015 (UTC)
