I have 2 iPads, 5 iPhone 3's, 2 iPod 3's, 3 iPhone 4's, 1 iPhone SE (1st gen) That Keeps coming up with the old email address for the Apple ID which changed some time ago to my new email address.
How do I change the Apple ID to my new one?
iPad 2, iOS 9
Consider that an AppleID account is intended to be used for life. If you need to change the primary email address that identifies your account, or your secondary (recovery) email addresses or trusted telephone numbers, you simply need to update your AppleID account as necessary.

Few of us will have the luxury of forever keeping the same email addresses or telephone numbers - sometimes these needing to be changed for a variety of reasons. However, updating our AppleID account, maintaining access to our data and purchases, is easy and relatively straightforward - accommodating life’s many changes as they occur. Using a completely different AppleID account can introduce many complications and issues, not limited to losing access to paid Apps, subscriptions and services - these being forever tied to the AppleID account from which they were purchased.
If you do wish to change and use an entirely different AppleID, first ensure that you have disabled the Activation Lock that will otherwise cause difficulties in the future. You can disable the Activation Lock by disabling the Find My service from iPad/iPhone settings before trying to use a different AppleID account:
Settings > [Your Name / AppleID] > Find My > Find My iPad - set to OFF
Having disabled the Activation lock, you can now sign-out from your old AppleID:
Settings > [Your Name / AppleID] > Sign Out
Presumably you’ll want to keep any iCloud data that is locally stored on your iPad. If so, accept the opportunity to keep a local copy of your data (e.g., Calendar, Contacts, Notes, Keychain Passwords etc.) - as otherwise this data will be wiped from your iPad as you sign-out from iCloud.
Also ensure that you have signed-out from Messages and FaceTime:
After signing out, a restart of your iPad/iPhone is recommended:
Restart your iPad - Apple Support
Force restart iPhone - Apple Support
After restarting, you can sign-in to your new AppleID account from iPad settings - and also sign-in to Messages and FaceTime if necessary. Any iCloud data that you saved to your device during the previous sign-out will be merged with your new AppleID account.

10 of the 15 are too old and the apps purchased no longer exist in that they have been upgradded amny times since purchase. I found an app called "SYNC" that will save the apps onto a computer so I can later add them back into the older device.

all apps downloaded or purchased with the old appleID will have to be deleted and redownloaded and repurchased
And here I thought it "locked" it up from "formatting to new owners type of deal for anti-theft or some such thing. I may be wrong...
I had changed my Apple ID and forgot all my little devices
