Sounds like it could be a White Lady.  I have one and the peaches are great.  
Wish all my trees grew as fast and produced like it does.

I agree with Scott's comments. I have 4 white fleshed peaches. Three are 
from seedlings and look almost like the parent. For the life of me I do not 
know which grafted tree I brought with me whenI retired but I do not think 
it to be Belle of Ga!  I have named my white seedlong, Belle of ALabamaq. 
Ha! Very good peaches.
