We have a couple of young peach trees that I started from seed. They were taken from delicious white-fleshed peaches. Do they reproduce true from seed?

To produce fruit identical to those that you've eaten, you will have to find the parent and propagate it by budding, grafting, or rooting the cuttings. However, don't cut your peach trees down immediately. Peaches are quick to bear, and there's a high probability that the fruit produced by your seed-grown trees will yield fruit that is pretty tasty.
