Assuming, as you have indicated, that you want to solve several given
equations separately for the _same_ variable, the following will work
(although I'm not sure how "elegant" it is):
eqns = Thread[x - {1, 2, 3} == {0, 0, 0}];
starts = {1, 1, 1};
MapThread[FindRoot, {eqns, List[x, #] & /@ starts}]
