JFB's death due to wounds represents my best guess. We don't have enough imformation to really know. I would also guess that hostile attitude and statements about his father's 'disloyalty' from citizens may have contributed to the arrest. It's not unusual for civilians to have been deported or sent to prison camp.
Confederate dead from the Chickamauga battlefield were removed to Marietta GA, so you may be nearer than you think. Many of these are marked 'unknown'.
