The USDA germplasm repository has Slappy if you know how to graft peaches.

Slappy is a very late canning peach, another similar peach is Salwey.  I have 
that one along with Heath Cling and Indian Cling - all four are hard-fleshed 
late canning/drying/picking peaches.  I'm not sure why these peaches died 
out, they are superior culinary peaches.  I guess the fresh eating varieties 
took over.
