In preping house to sell was running dedicated circuit to bathroom for
gfi socket as bathroom had no socket only only light switch.
discovered that all upstairs (bathroom and 3 bedrooms) were on 2 (two)
20 amp breakers that were ganged. Also found the old wiring was 14
gage. I will of course be replacing the breakers with 15 amp
breakers. Anyone have any idea why the breakers were ganged and when
replaced must I also use ganged 15s or just one for each of the two
circuits?

There is a chance that those two circuits are sharing a neutral (an
Edison circuit). It is a good idea to keep them ganged so that no one
will accidentally but them on the same "phase" in the future.
