Goodness, Google has hundreds of sources.
Very quickly I have just been skimming
http://www.ot-studies.com/Documents/did_moses_marry_a_cushite.htm Looks like that quickly gives the story, I had forgotten her name, Tharbis, but it is beginning to come back to me. Moses had been a great general of Egypt in his 30's or so and the Exodus did not take place till he was in his eighties.

Thanks for the source, Chris Talk. As you know, Josephus is a secondary source, not a primary one, and he would have had to find this in Midrash. I will start looking for the midrashic text of this. If you find it before me, please let me know. ;)
