Perhaps Paul did not mention the Philippian jailer to the Corinthians because he was listing those in Corinth (names with whom they would have been familiar) "...of you, but... (verse 14)" that he baptized, not the entire list of any that he had ever baptized. It is obvious that he did not keep records, but are you claiming that he "forgot" the jailers' family "...I know not whether..."?
The other slight possibility is that "...I baptized also the household of Stephanas..." is referring to the jailer and his family. Although this is likely not true, based on the regional location of Philippi in Macedonia and not in Achaia, from which Stephanas was said to be the "firstfruits". (I Cor 16:15)
