EARLY YEARS - (These are actually events that happened as John, but they are now only remembered as happening to Jack by virtually everyone.)
Jack and Jill -Not covered in Fables, but Jill is mentioned as an ex-girlfriend. Headcanon dictates that Jill probably pushed him down after he was being lewd to her. At some later point, Jill was probably the girl he lost his virginity to.
Jack and the Beanstalk -The most famous Jack tale of all, this one is should in Jack of Fables and follows the traditional story. Though the giant was killed in Jack's own self defense, it was what led him to becoming a well known giant killer. Jack often claims he seduced and had sex with the giant's wife and daughter, but Gary and John refute this, given Jack/John was only nine at the time.
Little Jack Horner -Not covered in Fables, but it depicts an early Jack and his mischievous ways as a child to an adult. These stories involve him playing pranks and misdeeds on others, culminating in him slaying a giant. These tales are a bit hard to place, but they likely took place between the Beanstalk and his days as a Giant Killer. Full text here and here.
Jack the Giant Killer -Seen only briefly in Fables. During these days, Jack gained much fame as a Giant Killer, eventually being knighted by King Arthur and being wed to the daughter of a duke. At some point though, he died during a battle with a giant and was killed.
--
At this point is the divergence. The original, John, was sent to hell for his misdeeds. He later conned his way out by convincing the devil he would bring souls to hell with his sinful ways, thus becoming known as Wicked John. However, the Literal Keven Thorpe, decided to bring John back in another saga. However instead of John, he created Jack, who had both John's memories and identity (even unto all of reality), save that he had never died. Thus Jack Horner does not remember ever dying, he merely continued his adventures.
