Abraham's second wife after Sarah died was Keturah. Keturah had six sons with Abraham, one of which was Midian. The Midianite priests referenced in the Bible descended from Abraham through Midian. Genesis 25:1-2
Moses' father-in-law was a Midianite priest as stated by Scriptures and goes by several names, Jethro, Reuel, Raguel. All of these names reference the same Midianite priest and are all one-in-the-same, Moses' father-in-law. One name is his actual name and the others a title. Exodus 2:16, 18; Exodus 3:1; Numbers 10:29 to name a few references.
In Judges 1:16 it stipulates that Moses' father-in-law was a Kenite. It is impossible for him to have been a Kenite (descendant of Cain) as it is well documented that he was in fact a descendant of Midian and a Midianite priest. This stipulation would have to do rather with the fact that Jethro and his family were from the land of the Kenites (difference again in genealogy versus geographical location of residence). Kenites, Jews, and Judah
