Years ago as I recall the theory of Moses was that he was probably based on a real historical figure and that he was a follower of Akhenaten who followed the one true God Aten, rejecting all the other Egyptian Gods. This appears to have fallen out of favour more recently but I haven't kept up with the historical developments.
I've even seen theories that Moses was Akhenaten but that appears to be a newer strand I haven't investigated at all.
If Moses was a follower then once Akhenaten died and Egypt returned to the old pantheon of Gods its not such a stretch that he went on the run with a small band of followers. There is, however, nothing to tie these people to the family and friends of Joseph.
