Pianist Mark Howard has arranged a beautiful, interesting version of Josette's Theme. "This charming melody in antique style resembles a gavotte, evoking delightful images of the French roocco period," Howard explains on his Youtube channel. "And well it might, since it played from the music box given to Josette duPrés of Martinique by Barnabas Collins in the 18th century. The original piece was written by British composer Robert Farnon, and a later version composed by Robert Cobert. This is my own arrangement and a small tribute to Dark Shadows, unquestionably one of the most innovative and intriguing programs in the history of American television."
Thanks to Bill Branch for the link!

I would much like to find the sheet music for the original piece, by composer Robert Farnon, but I can't seem to find it. Any suggestions?
I've no idea. You might consult a store that sells musical instruments. A good one ought to have a list of contacts for hard-to-find sheet music.
