Ambrose B. Coleman 1844-1864 Reynolds County

I have found a Civil War Record but, it may not belong to this Ambrose Coleman. I know his younger brother William Wallace Coleman(1848-1928)my gggrandfather was captured at the age of 14 and conscripted by Union Troops near Cape Girardeau as his family fled Barnesville in 1863. He managed to escape within a few days but, I can't find anything on his brother Ambrose other than his burial at the age of 21 in Wayne County. My grandfather John Anderson Coleman (1872-1963)was the son of William Wallace and he often told the story of his father's escape due to the kindness of a northern guard. It was the only Civil War story he would tell. I read somewhere that Ambrose was taken prisoner and held at Pilot Knob, is there a list of POWs some place?
Any information would really be appreciated.
