Answers:
If you watered it and watered it and it did not recover and you haven't seen any bugs, then chances are you have some kind of root disease. These are very difficult to detect and identify because we can't see what is going on with the roots!
Diseases like verticillium and fusarium wilt are diagnosed in a lab. Those disease clog up the vascular tissues in the plant, so they cannot take up water, no matter how much water you give them! Take a root sample to your local disease clinic or plant pathology department at your local university and ask if they can ID the problem for you.
As far as identifying the tree, can you give more of a description or post a picture?
Other answers:
Not seeing the tree its tough to say, but perhaps it was weed-wacked? Just under the bark is where a tree's sap flows. If a tree's bark is damaged enough all the way around, the part of the tree above that is finished.
Other than that, if the trees were recently transplanted, it is possible that this one was allowed to dry out too much or that the roots were too damaged. Or that it has encountered something nasty underground, but that is unlikely.
I recommend posting a picture if you can so that somebody can identify the type of tree you have. Also, if any other species is nearby pictures of them would help too. Some plants can harm competitors by poisoning the soil for example.
Good luck!

is it a maple tree!! and you got hit with a tree bug move your other trees away if possible and get rid of it as soon as possible!
it is odd the tree would just start to die. is there insects, damnage to the roots, or trunk? i cannot think of anything else.
Is the tree evergreen or deciduous? It may have severe transplant shock and with a little care may come back. When you transplanted it, it's possible that the roots could have been damaged or dried out too much. Many places have guarantees with their plants and if yours did I would replace it. It may bounce back but what could it hurt to get a new one if your not sure, especially if it's free. Other wise just baby it for a few weeks, if that doesn't help get a new one. Good Luck!
