Here are his seforim: http://www.hebrewbooks.org/2206

His father was very famous in Russia – the “Minchas Shabbos”. I think R’ Meir was the youngest son.
His son R’ Chaim Zalman Cohen lives in Lawrence, NY, and authored a sefer on Brachos and Sukkah – “Maadanei Chaim”.

הוא נין נכד להרבה רבנים וגדולים, אך היחוס לשארית יוסף, הוא בן אחר בן.
יחוסו מפורט בשער של ספרי אביו.
