he patent says this
The new P. armeniaca variety originated in 1994 when pollen from Agricultural Research Service (ARS) apricot selection P301-110 (unpatented) was applied to the unpatented seed parent New Jersey Apricot Selection No. 73 (NJA 73). Seedlings from this planned hybridization were planted at the San Joaquin Valley Agricultural Sciences Center in Parlier, Calif. The new variety ‘Twocot’ was discovered and selected by the inventor in 1998 as a promising seedling tree based on overall fruit quality and productivity.
The parentage is from two other unpatented trees unknown.
