Stink bugs are causing your damage. They love peaches and can decimate a crop. They sting the developing fruits which then abort. In your region the culprit is the green stink bug (Acrosternum hilare). When I grew peaches in Texas, the enemy there was the brown stink bug, a cousin which does the same kind of damage. Stink bugs can also destroy pecan crops. My defense were sprayings of neem seed oil on the trees, at pink bud, petal fall and twice (at two-week intervals) afterwards. That controlled the little monsters.
